Most violent movie I have seen. I haven't seen A Serbian Film, and I don't want to. I don't like that sadistic killer stuff, it gets to me. This was detached enough that I could take it. I don't think I can even post the trailer here. If you like movies that push it, I'd highly recommend giving it a watch.

Well, I just finished. Enjoyed the movie and it was pretty messed up in some parts, most in particular for me was the girl who got stabbed in the eye and then the thing that happened to her at the hospital later. The hand grenade scene was hilarious, though. One of the most horrific reveals was that the infected were fully aware of what they were doing but were incapable of stopping themselves.

Good movie, thanks for letting me know it exists.

Yeah, they did a good job going for a unique angle on the zombie genre.

Is the movie really that graphic? I love Garth Ennis as a writer, but I won't even attempt to defend him with Crossed. That was just him being mean-spirited for the hell of it (which is something he's done regularly in career unfortunately).

Well, you can do things in comics that you can't do in movies but otherwise yes, it's the movie closest in spirit to Crossed there is.

Well, as GeminiDeus pointed out, a girl has her eye stabbed out with and umbrella, then later a guy uses her eye socket fot...things. The camera cuts away, so they do show some restraint. Wich, I think was the right move. If you like violent and/or zombie movies, this movie will almost certainly deliver.

Forgot to mention that the subbed version I watched didn't have properly translated names. The boyfriend was Jim, the girlfriend was Kat, the other girl was Molly, and the virus was called Alvin. So what were they supposed to be?

Also I watched the trailer earlier and lots of people in the comments mentioned the similarity to The Crossed in an approving way.

If you thought the original was bad, the other miniseries and ongoings managed to go even more overboard and double down on the excessive violence and whatnot.

The insanity was part of the appeal, but it was still put together. It had good cinematography. The pacing was good - fast, but a few well timed moments of relief. It had some great performances. An intriguing plot. A basis in reality. It had fantastic special effects. What sort of stuff did you find to be lacking?

It's a zombie action movie so it's plot, petty simple. What makes this movie interesting is the premise and what they do with it.

I will say the Sadness is actually much scarier than any other "zombie" movie I've seen because none of the characters have guns (well a zombie policeman does but that's actually bad), all of them are fairly weak so no hack and slash or pro wrestler MMA moves, and the zombies are even semi-intelligent, just completely psychotic so the premise is just pure running from a horde of psychos who want to torture you to death. It's basically the worst nightmare one can have of zombies instead of "epic zombie slaughter" or "humans are the real villains" I usually think of. It's one of the only zombie media I'd personally consider horror.

1 death pissed me off because of how stupid the victim was. It could have been avoided

That man in the hospital who goes to look at the woman who lost an eye. It was obvious from far far away that she had become infected. But he still walked over to her, and if I remember right, called out to her. He got himself killed when he could have run away silently

No, he accidentally stepped on a plate which alerted her. He was pretty much screwed anyway. The hospital was infested with them and the 5 zombies he spotted having an orgy had already noticed him and was sneaking up on him from behind.

This scene really frustrated me too. He should have just run. I was watching with my friend, and was just yelling at him to bounce lol.

It was more violent than I imagined lol. the 30 mins mark was at the train scene before all the chaos happened iirc. That caught me by surprised. I knew some fucked up stuff was going to occur but I expected it to be more like Train to Busan level of violence. That movie is tame compared to this.

I thought it was pretty fun overall though despite some scenes being a bit uncomfortable for me. Also I'm glad there aren't any real jumpscares. I tend to not watch horror movies by myself because of them

Having read all of Crossed because I'm a fucking weirdo I can say that The Sadness is a much better version of the same premise.
Like the "eye" scene people keep mentioning here is the craziest it gets and even that is implied rather than shown which is far more disturbing IMO. Crossed loves just going absolutely bonkers with its visuals, the vast majority you can't even describe here and they pretty much never serve a purpose to the overall plot other than shock value and to browbeat you with "we're all horrible inside".
I'll defend Preacher and even The Boys to hell and back, but I can't back up Ennis on Crossed. It's mean spirited all around.

The horror part in the orphanage scared me off I didn't expect that tbh

I'm just weird with those type of scenes. Like ik it's not supposed to be the uncomfortable part of the movie

I might be remembering it wrong. I don't feel like it starts out in an orphanage unless you mean something else.

The very start of martyrs should be like a family getting ready in the morning type thing.

That movie makes stuff like human centipede just seem like mainstream goofiness.

A lot of those 2000s French horror movies go so gd hard.

The pure evil that movie has is just outta there.
