violence

One man gouges another’s eyes with his thumbs. Further bloody violence - much of it inflicted on the zombie-like ‘infected’ - includes shootings, bludgeonings, land mine explosions and machete attacks. A montage of real news footage depicting undetailed rioting and police brutality is intercut with simulated footage of people beating hanged corpses. A scene shows chimpanzees being subjected to cruel medical experiments, but there is no evidence of real animal cruelty.

threat and horror

Terrified people are chased and savagely attacked by victims of an infectious virus that induces murderous rage. Soldiers aggressively threaten people with guns.

language

There is infrequent use of very strong language (‘c**t’), in addition to more frequent use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘bastard’, ‘pissed’, ‘shit’, ‘arse’, ‘crap’ and ‘bloody’. There is also infrequent use of discriminatory terms such as ‘pansies’, but discrimination is not endorsed by the film as a whole.

sexual violence and sexual threat

Soldiers hold a woman and a teenage girl captive with the intention of sexually assaulting them. The woman’s shirt is forcibly stripped off while the teenager screams in distress; however, the soldiers’ plan is not enacted further.

injury detail

A fantastical disease causes the infected to vomit copious amounts of blood. Bloodied corpses are seen in the aftermath of violence. Another scene contains brief sight of a dead infant without visible wounds.

flashing/flickering lights

This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.

additional issues: Survivors of an apocalypse are shown sedating themselves with Valium, while other scenes contain verbal references to drug misuse. Other issues include references to suicide, infrequent moderate sex references, and instances of breast, rear and full-frontal nudity in a non-sexual context.
