Director Rob Jabbaz's TheSadness is a grotesque, bloody horror-thriller that definitely isn't for the faint of heart.

The Sadness is a film awash in blood, gore, and complete, unfiltered savagery. Written and directed by Canadian filmmaker Rob Jabbaz, the new Taiwanese horror film is partly inspired by Garth Ennis’ Crossed comic book series and tells a story that some may find too relevant for their liking. Set in a modern-day version of Taiwan, the film invites viewers into a city that is in the midst of recovering from a pandemic, one that many of its citizens have grown tired of worrying about.

A world gone mad Contrary to what most horror movie viewers might assume, The Sadness’ infected are not just another garden-variety form of zombies. While rabid and crazed in the way that most movie zombies are, the infected in The Sadness are totally sentient and intelligent, but are nonetheless driven to carry out as much sexual and physical violence against their fellow citizens as they can.

Not for the faint of heart In case those previous two sentences weren’t enough of a hint of what lies in store in The Sadness, now feels like as good of a time as any to say that Jabbaz’s film is one of the most violent and grotesque horror movies of recent memory.
