Brace yourself—this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna’s is not for the faint of heart. We’re diving into The Sadness (2021), the Taiwanese extreme horror film that shocked audiences with its relentless gore, depraved violence, and bleak social commentary. Directed by Rob Jabbaz, this viral outbreak thriller follows a young couple trying to survive as their city descends into total chaos, driven by infected citizens who act out their most horrific impulses.
We explore how The Sadness pushes the boundaries of modern horror, its connections to Crossed comics and pandemic anxieties, and whether its brutal shock factor serves a deeper purpose or simply aims to disturb. Is this one of the most intense horror films of the decade, or does it go too far?
