⚠ Trigger Warnings
Child Endangerment
Movie opens with a man disrupting a baseball game with a gun & gets shot in front of them - presumably. We don't get their reaction. A kid dies in a house fire early on, but it's implied.
Pregnancy
Judy is pregnant but it has nothing to do with the danger she's in. No harm to fetus.
Shaky Camera (Motion Sickness)
That carwash scene is disorienting.
Gun Violence
Two k*lls w/ shots to the head on-camera to humans. Minimal gore/blood, though.
Graphic Violence (General)
There's a hanging (carwash scene) and several zombie k*lls.
Gore / Excessive Gore
Some of the corpses are pretty graphic (don't see it happen).
Ending Type
Ending Notes
It looks like David and Judy are about to get away, but the camera jumps to a satellite screen with instructions to terminate. There was kinda nowhere to go, so…

I'd love to give this movie a strong recommendation, but I think that's because it's part nostalgia for me. I may revisit my rating after watching the OG version. Still, I fucking love this movie.

There's a jump scare or two, but with zombie movies, you kmow what you're getting to.

This movie is intense, but not because of the duration of sustained intensity. It's intense because it's scene after intense scene.

It's graphic in the human sense: not blunt or sustained, but the zombies seem more like real human beings, so it's got more of an impact. Not a ton of blood nor on-screen k*lls.

Real Deal

Higher score for sustained horror from start to finish. Gore isn't brutal, but prevalent (though some of it is off-screen & implied).
