SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE is a comedy horror about three friends who use their scouting skills to survive a zombie apocalypse.

Violence

Scenes show zombies attacking humans with bloody detail, and humans fighting zombies, often shooting them in the head, resulting in big blood spurts. A zombie is stabbed in the head with a glass bottle and blood is seen pouring out of the bottle neck. A character sets a zombie on fire using a lighter and an aerosol. There is a scene in which characters use DIY tools to fight zombies, for example, zombie heads are shredded by lawn-mower blades. There is strong gore when a zombie's torso collapses leaving a large bloody cavity. A deer is stabbed in the eye and there is sight of its innards spilling out of its stomach. A zombie's neck sprays blood over two characters.

There are references to oral sex and strip clubs and verbal references to 'pussy'.

Nudity

There is breast nudity. There is a scene in which a character falls from a window but manages to hang on by holding onto a zombie's penis.

Language

There is strong language ('motherf**ker' and 'f**k') throughout. Milder terms include 'bitch', 'shit' and 'cock'.
