Description

After a year of combating a pandemic with relatively benign symptoms, a frustrated nation finally lets its guard down. This is when the virus spontaneously mutates, giving rise to a mind-altering plague. The streets erupt into violence and depravity, as those infected are driven to enact the most cruel and ghastly things they can think of. Murder, torture, rape and mutilation are only the beginning. A young couple is pushed to the limits of sanity as they try to reunite amid the chaos. The age of civility and order is no more. There is only "The Sadness".

    Is this a zombie movie?

    I never thought this would release physically since it was a shudder exclusive. I watched this with my wife and this was a breath of fresh air with how dull zombie/infection movies have become. Great movie and great packaging.

    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    One of the best horror films in years

    Takes all the anxiety, rage, and fear that welled up during the pandemic and turns it into one of the best zombie films in recent memory.
