Let's get the obvious out of the way, The Sadness is pretty damn gory. This aspect is both a positive and negative. Most of (if not all) the gore is achieved in a practical manner, and as such is undeniably impressive. It goes for the jugular, with the intention of shocking. There are multiple moments where everything is just caked in blood and viscera, but to be honest, it does come across as gore for the sake of gore. There's little else on offer, which is a great shame. There are some solid enough performances from Berant Zhu, Regina Lei, and Tzu-Chiang Wang, and the general look of the infected people is genuinely quite unsettling, but everything else feels a bit empty. It's hard to care about any of the characters trying to survive, and the attempt at an emotional ending falls flat as a result.
Gore hounds and horror fans will no doubt find things to love about The Sadness. It's bleak, nihilistic, and doesn't shy away from its depravity. I certainly didn't dislike it, but the overall experience left me very unmoved. It's ultimately a movie that is just an extreme splatter flick, and it could have been so much more.

Finally seen I've been wanting to see the movie since I first watched the trailer last September for movie that's part mean girls part freaky Friday with a dash of 80s slasher movies this movie has it all u haven't seen it all till u see Vince Vaughan channeling his inner teenage girl persona had me in stitches and Kathryn Newton as millie and the butcher is a star in the making. There are some good kills in this movie with plenty of gore. Overall worth the long wait to see the movie
