violence
There is strong gory violence, both when zombies attack and eat humans, and when humans fight back against the zombies, including sight of zombies being bludgeoned impaled and shot. However, the overall tone of the film is comic. For example, humans attack zombies by throwing LP records at them.
threat and horror
While there is a sense of threat, as the zombies attack humans and as humans try to protect themselves, any sense of threat is undercut by the film's strongly comic tone.
language
There is a single use of very strong language ('c**t'), as well as frequent use of strong language ('f**k'). There is also regular use of milder terms, such as 'prick' and 'wanker', and a single instance of the 'n' word.
sex
There are some moderate verbal sex references, which are comic in nature.
drugs
There are some brief verbal references to selling marijuana, although drug misuse is not shown. There is also a brief reference to being mugged by 'crackheads'.
suicide and self-harm
There is a brief reference to suicide as a possible way of escaping from the zombies. However, this is not acted upon.
injury detail
There is strong gore in the aftermath of violence, including as zombies are seen eating humans. There is sight of intestines and detached arms and heads. However, the overall tone is comic.
alcohol and smoking
Adults smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol. Large portions of the film are set in a pub.
