The Sadness: International Trailer
Written, Directed and Edited by: Rob Jabbaz
Killer words from the kind (but fair) folks over at Fantasia International Film Festival…
THE TRANSGRESSIVE HORROR EXPERIENCE OF THE DECADE: THE SADNESS (North American Premiere)
In an alternate version of Taiwan, a rapidly spreading pandemic suddenly mutates into a rabies-like affliction, and the infected find themselves unable to control their id. A nightmare vision steeped in unspeakably upsetting moments of violence, Rob Jabbaz’s THE SADNESS plays like a return to the no-holds-barred shock sensibilities of ’90s Hong Kong Category III films. Electrified with an existential fear that punches spikes of panic energy straight into your nervous system, and told with incredible style, THE SADNESS is a force to be reckoned with. Fantasia is proud to be bringing this extreme horror rollercoaster to North American shores, hot off its bow at Locarno.

Plot Synopsis:
After a year of combating a pandemic with relatively benign symptoms, a frustrated nation
finally lets its guard down.
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”.
Clearwater will premiere on DUST on Friday October 29th.
