In this episode, we wrap up our Extreme Horror extravaganza for October with a listener episode that’s still on topic. Diving back into our list from the start of this block, we decided to go with a modern example of the subgenre and this led us to check out Rob Jabbaz’s The Sadness from 2021. Jason seeks for the good in the film and looks at it from a perspective of celebrating gore films. Less impressed, Dustin slices the film apart while weighing it against its reputation and hype. We also return to our age old debate of what counts as a zombie film. And so much more!
Special thanks to Abe for suggesting we check this one out. Got a movie you champion? A hidden gem you think needs more love? Just want to see more discussion on a particular film? We want to check out the movies you suggest to us. Write in at genreexposure@gmail.com or contact us on your favorite form of social media and shoot us a movie recommendation.
