Plot: A new, somewhat harmless disease is doing the rounds, scientists are afraid of its mutation potential. The new virus shares similarities with the rabies virus, which would cause absolute mayhem. And sure enough, a couple of days later crazed humans start roaming the streets, spreading the disease like a wildfire. A young couple, who may have said their last goodbyes in the morning, are used as mules for the audience. We follow them around as they try to find their way back to each other.

A film that certainly honors its reputation. Not so much its title though, as The Sadness is pure cinematic horror fun. I don't really care for zombie films anymore, but when they're this graphic and in-your-face it's an easy bias to overcome. The gore is plentiful, there are a slew of iconic scenes (the metro) and characters (the old ledger) and the pacing is perfect. The film does run out of steam just a little towards the finale, Jabbaz isn't able to top himself there, but that's only a minor hiccup in an otherwise delightful horror flick.
