The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

A brief sex scene with thrusting and moaning is shown, then the woman is shown topless for quite a while before dressing.

Male and female zombies shown completely nude as they terrorize victims (though only top and back nudity is primarily shown).

Woman tied down, stripped (full frontal nudity briefly shown but focused upper body) and has her naked body licked/kissed by a severed head. The head is then placed between her legs and attempts cunnilingus but is interrupted.

Violence & Gore

Herbert is shown at holding down the re-animated zombie of a university professor.

A dead cat is re-animated and attacks Herbert, then Dan throws it at the wall. It's then re-animated again and writhes around but cannot move due to a broken spine.

Dr Hill drills into a corpse's skull with a laser-drill.

Herbert and Dan re-animate a corpse in the morgue which then attacks them, then Herbert kills it by drilling through the heart and out the other side with a bonesaw. The corpse also attacks Dean Halsey, who then dies and is re-animated before being locked in a padded cell.

Herbert hits Dr Hill on the head head with a shovel, then decapitates him with it. He then re-animates both the head and body

Numerous other scenes involve blood pouring from zombie's eyes and mouths, eye-gouging, among other various acts of violence. All this is done in a comic-horror style, but is still quite graphic even by modern standards.

Profanity

very little to none

characters drink wine with meals

Many scenes take place in the hospital morgue (cover dead bodies shown).

Zombie attack/action and frightening scenes of disfigured/injured bodies coming to life. Talking disembodied head.
