Where to Watch The Sadness
The Sadness Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin Ward12 juli 2025I’ve used the word depravity to describe a film recently and after seeing this I don’t think I was using that word appropriately. This film is deranged and depraved in a way I’ve not really ever seen before. It’s a twist on a “zombie apocalypse”, if you can call it that, but it’s view of humanity is utterly bleak and cynical; and honestly it’s just really fucked up in a lot of ways….and holy hell is it entertaining to watch. Blood and gore absolutely fill the screen nearly from start to finish. I don’t think I need to say anything else. While I didn’t love the story itself, the story is really secondary to everything else happening on screen. If that sounds like your thing, I think you’ll definitely get enjoyment out of this one.
- Hunter Brown25 mars 2026It's a gross movie, I think it could have done without the constant use and threat of sexual violence. I wouldn't recommend this to any of my friends or family .
- Chris Morehouse3 mars 2026Imagine if the cirus from The Crazys spread as fast as the one from 28 Days Later. If that happened in Tiwian you get The Sadness. Worth watching if you liked either of those other movies and don't mind subtitles.
- Rene LeBlanc30 juli 2025Very gory and lots of sexualized content. Good zombie concept
- Patrick Wai4 december 2025Lovers trying to find each other during a zombie apocalypse, with plenty of blood and gore.
- jackmeat5 oktober 2025My quick rating - 6.6/10.
- David Scarpa6 september 2025A Korean riff on 28 Days Later amping up the sex and gore. Recommended
- Spoons8 februari 2025The Sadness hits like a gut-punch wrapped in barbed wire. Set in Taiwan, it follows a young couple trying to reunite as a mysterious virus sweeps through the city. These aren’t zombies in the usual sense. The infected remain aware, but their moral brakes are gone, leaving only violent, gleeful depravity. That’s what makes this film so vicious; it’s not just the gore, it’s the conscious cruelty. Fans of the Crossed comics will recognise the same gleeful nihilism. The violence here isn’t cartoonish; it’s feral and deliberate. Limbs fly, yes, but it’s the psychological rot that lingers. Every act feels personal, every smile from the infected a taunt. The film refuses to pull a single punch and takes a perverse pleasure in making you flinch. For those who live for the extremes of horror, The Sadness delivers a savage, unrelenting experience. It’s a film that tests your limits and dares you to keep watching. For everyone else, it’s a warning shot from the edge of human cruelty. If you liked: Project Wolf Hunting, A Serbian Film, The Green Elephant.
