Quick Hit

The Sadness unfolds like an infection-panic nightmare—ferocious, filthy, and never wastes a scare.

Full Take

The Sadness leans hard into infection horror energy, and Rob Jabbaz keeps the tone ferocious without letting the movie drift. It knows its lane and drives straight into the dark with style, control, and just enough mean streak. It may not be for everybody, but it definitely has teeth.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

I’m pretty split on The Sadness. Some moments really land and some of it just floats by.
