The Sadness was released in theatres in Taiwan on 22 January 2021. It had its international premiere at the 74th Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland on 12 August 2021. It was screened at the 25th Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, Canada, in August 2021, as well as at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, in September 2021.

Raven Banner Entertainment acquired the worldwide distribution rights to the film.

In April 2022, it was confirmed that the film would begin streaming on Shudder on May 12th, 2022.

The Sadness received an overwhelmingly positive reception from critics upon release. Film Threat's Alex Saveliev awarded The Sadness a score of 10 out of 10, calling it, "Some kind of genius, propelling ahead with a vicious force, full throttle, both embracing and disregarding convention." Saveliev praised the style of the film, observing that "it's made with filmmaking finesse, elegantly structured, with a gorgeous electronic score helping to drive the narrative. Obvious allusions to the current pandemic resonate, skillfully avoiding the 'overwrought' trap." Han Cheung of the Taipei Times called the film a "slickly-produced gorefest", noting the "fast-paced action and not-so-subtle digs at the government and humanity" but lamenting "the oversimplified plot and lack of attention to storytelling nuances and details".

Rue Morgue magazine referred to The Sadness as "The most violent and depraved zombie movie ever made".

At the 2021 Fantasia International Film Festival, The Sadness won the award for Best Film in the New Flesh competition for first features.

Fantastic Fest awarded The Sadness Best Picture and Best Director in its 2021 horror competition.
