Violence & Gore

10/10.

Frequent comic violence, but an extreme amount of blood and gore. Arguably the goriest film of all time.

-A man enters a house with a lawnmower and kills several zombies with several gallons of fake blood pumped per second, during all of this we also see various other zombie killings such as a head in a blender.

Profanity

4/10.

Occasional profanity such as at least one use of "fuck", "slut" and a few uses of "shit".

5/10.

Some characters are seen smoking and drinking at a party with some clearly drunk characters.

A man is seen smoking after a funeral

A man is seen drinking at a graveyard

8/10.

Aside from the constant blood/gore, some of the zombies and creatures may seem frightening and/or disturbing to some.

Most of the violence/gore is shown in a comical way.

An idea of how accurate the TECE (below) is: 5-10 is little-kid suitable, G-Rated type of film (i.e. Care Bears, Sleeping Beauty); 10-15 is going to be a little harsher, but not by much (i.e. The Incredibles); 15-20 could be pretty high up there (i.e. Indiana Jones), 20-25 can be less kid-suitable(i.e. The Dark Knight); 25-30 is going to be a film most likely not suitable for children; 30-40 is going to be a film meant for adults and NOT for children (i.e. Saving Private Ryan), and films that go over 40 are high in explicit content and only for mature audiences (i.e. Pink Flamingos, Cannibal Holocaust).

Total Explicit Content Estimation: 36/50

RECOMMENDATION: Adults and very mature teenagers.
