The Sadness (哭悲)

from Cinema D‘Amore Hosted by Cinema D‘Amore

What happens when a virus doesn't turn people into mindless zombies, but instead unleashes their darkest impulses? On this episode of Cinema D’Amore, Chuck and Justin dive into The Sadness (哭悲), Rob Jabbaz’s relentlessly brutal Taiwanese horror film about a mysterious infection that transforms ordinary people into intelligent, sadistic killers. They discuss the film’s shocking practical gore, its unforgettable subway massacre, and how it pushes the boundaries of extreme horror. Drawing comparisons to 28 Days Later and Evil Dead, they explore the film’s pandemic-era anxieties, its disturbing portrayal of human nature, and what happens when society loses all restraint.
