	'''''The Sadness''''' (Mandarin title: 哭悲, Kū bēi~~; lit. "Crying"~~) is a Taiwanese horror film directed by Canadian filmmaker Rob Jabbaz, in his feature directorial debut. The film stars Berant Zhu and Regina Lei as Jim and Kat, a couple in Taipei that finds themselves separated in the middle of an outbreak of the "Alvin" virus, a fast-spreading pathogen that turns those infected with it into extremely sadomasochistic and uninhibited psychopaths. The film follows their attempt to reconnect with each other in the middle of the virus' rapid spread, as well as their encounters with the sadistic and perverted infected. First released in its native Taiwan and to multiple international film festivals in 2021 with wide releases following in 2022, ''The Sadness'' would receive positive critical feedback for its depraved, yet unique take on the zombie genre, with its almost all-practical blood and gore effects also gaining widespread recognition.
