BEAST OF WAR is a horror drama, set during WWII, in which a group of Australian soldiers who survive the bombing of their ship are stranded at sea on a makeshift raft and are menaced by a predatory great white shark.
violence
Strong violence features crunchy fistfights, eye-gouging and people shot, with sight of blood spurts.
threat and horror
Soldiers stranded at sea on a makeshift raft are menaced by a shark and strafing gunfire from an enemy plane.
language
Strong language ('f**k') features, as well as milder terms such as 'prick', 'dickhead', 'bloody', 'arse', 'shit', 'bastard' and 'piss'.
injury detail
Strong gory injury detail in the aftermath of shark attacks and the accidental detonation of wartime munitions includes sight of bloodshed, severed limbs and spilled innards.
additional issues
An Indigenous Australian is called racist names, such as 'darkie', 'sambo' and 'rock ape', but the discrimination he faces is clearly condemned. There is a reference to a person suffering from wartime PTSD taking his own life. In a comical scene, men stranded at sea without water drink their own urine to stave off thirst.
