| violence |
There are frequent scenes of violence involving the zombie-like creatures in the film attacking humans and/or being killed by humans with some details and bloodletting visible.
One of the stronger scenes is a sequence at the beginning of the film depicting people in an airport transforming into zombies and attacking one another viciously.
Some of the other violence depicted in the film include a woman getting punched in the face repeatedly; a woman hitting her forehead repeatedly against the wall until a bloody patch is seen on the wall; a man being stabbed in the stomach; the sight of a man lying in a pool of blood with a gash on the back of his head; etc.
In addition to the airport scene, there is a scene depicting a young man being attacked and killed by a zombie, where the ax can be seen lodged in his chest.
In another scene, a dead man is seen with a bayonet sticking out of his chest.
Given that the violent scenes in the film occur fairly frequently, and are accompanied by some details of injuries and bloodletting, they would be more appropriate for a more mature audience. |
