Featured review
"The Sadness" is one of the most violent and sickest films that I watched in 2023. The setup is interesting and the "zombies" are not the usual mindless and slow monsters roaming around. They are really dangerous because the virus does not inhibit their brain and it actually strengthens their violence. Moreover, the makeup was top notch and they looked truly scary. I liked the fact that there was some kind of villain that was chasing down one of the main characters. The danger felt closer and more personal and it added a captivating layer to the story. However, the script is pretty basic and plot wise there is really nothing peculiar. The acting was just okay and none of the performances could really grab my attention. The dialogues are lazy and after a while it just gets boring hearing vulgarities from these monsters. I mean, I get it, whoever is infected becomes extremely depraved; there is no need to reiterate the concept for one hour and a half.
I have watched many incredibly twisted scenes in my life, but in this specific case there were some things that were really difficult to stand. For sure it is not a film for families or for people with a weak stomach. The practical effects are well done and the attack scenes are directed competently. I believe that this film will make happy body horror fans. My final mark is in line with the average: 6.5 stars out of 10.
