2/10
A naked female zombie walks toward a house and her buttocks are clearly seen, but only for one second because as she inches closer to the house all nudity is covered up in the shadows almost immediately after it is shown. [46:30-37] |
| violence |
8/10 - This movie was released in 1968, but it is not as tamed by today's standards as some might imagine. The only thing that holds it back from being extremely violent was that it was shot in black and white thus decreasing how gory and bloody it looks.
Several scenes showing zombies eating body parts
A man gets into a fight with a zombie and is subsequently killed.
A partially decomposed face of a dead body is shown. Very surprising
A man has his skull crushed.
A man and woman are blown up in a car.
A little zombie girl kills a woman with a masonry trowel. This is probably the goriest scene in the whole movie.
A woman is dragged into a large group of zombies and killed off-screen.
A man is shot in the stomach and then eaten by zombies.
A man is shot in the head. Not graphic, but surprising and very unsettling |
| profanity |
3/10
1 use of "Jesus, and 2 of "God." 3 instances of "damn," 2 of "hell," and 1 of "bastard."

2/10
A man smokes throughout the film. A woman is seen smoking once. |

7/10 - This is the first film about a zombie apocalypse, with a focus on a group of survivors trapped in a house on the countryside
Scenes of canibalism where zombies eat dead victims. Quite graphic and may be disturbing.
A girl is seen sick and suffering (although treated with care in the film).
A girl becomes a zombie, which may be disturbing
A character is seen being killed by a family member who is now a zombie.
A man walks out of the basement. Another man shoots him in the head and burns his body.
BBFC - (15): moderate horror, violence. |
