Synopsis

As a virus constantly mutates and survives by attacking the weakest human link, a new strain unlocks limits of violence and sadistic desire hidden deep in human hearts. Jim and Kat are starting a peaceful day when zombies infected by virus variants take to the streets to hunt down humans and turn the subway into a massacre scene. Zombies are usually depicted as soulless masses, but in The Sadness, they are obsessed with lust, sadism, and violence, wildly indulging in rape and torture. This rendition of such hard gore is provocative, with the zombie and gore genres combining to create a brutally gruesome hell. (KIM Young-woo)
