The Sadness (2021)

I didn't expect anything from this film, even I was pessimistic at first because the set and the cinematography have a typical tv drama vibe.

It turns out, this film is not just an ordinary zombie flick, as soon as I realized the zombies in this movie are "different" where they still can think, it just they can't resist the urge to kill, have sex, and any other things that violate the norms of life and human rights. Basically it's when humans have lost their conscience completely and proudly show it to the world, it shows by their horrifying actions & expressions, especially their gaze.

What made me amazed and fell in love was that this film did not hesitate to show a high level of bloody violence, it is horrifying but satisfying for zombie fan. The massacre scene on the train, which will not be forgotten by me anytime soon, really pushed the brutality of this film to the extreme level; I was like other passengers, confused, scared, shocked when I saw there's a man who stabbed some people out of nowhere, the reaction from that action was so chaos and raises the tension of this movie. The tension, the violence, they managed to keep it at a high level until the end and it was very satisfying. Chop chop chop without cut is a pleasure (in movies).

This film certainly has messages or satire to convey to ordinary people and the government in the midst of a pandemic that is still not completely over. Starting from how indifferent people are to health protocols and sometimes how unclear the presence of government officials in handling these cases, etc.

That's all I want to type, absolutely one of the best zombie movie I've watched.

Thanks.

This is your trigger warning.

This "review" is really just for those who need a warning.

Because I tend to stay away from the comment section because of spoilers, I wish I had somewhat peaked at them this time. Because they're right. It's not for the light hearted.

This movie made me physically sick.

Zombie lovers; feel free to pass this movie. It's pretty much just rape gore on steroids under the guise of zombies.

I get this movie isn't for everyone. it sure in hell wasn't it for me.
