Editor’s Note: The Sadness (2021) masterfully merges horror and thriller elements, prioritizing atmosphere over spectacle. Directed by Rob Jabbaz, the narrative remains tightly woven, emphasizing character development instead of mere flashy moments. Standout performances from Berant Zhu, Regina Lei, and Tzu-Chiang Wang elevate the story’s emotional stakes. With a runtime of 1 hour 39 minutes, the film’s pacing complements its themes well. Although it has some flaws, its strengths considerably outweigh them. The tagline, “It feels…wonderful…,” effectively captures the film’s eerie essence. If this narrative resonates with you, it deserves a spot on your watchlist.
