violence
People are grabbed, strangled and drowned by monstrous undead soldiers, but visual detail of violence is discreet. A man's hand is slammed in a door, resulting in a brief sight of blood, and we see dead bodies.
threat and horror
Zombie-like soldiers with facial scars and blisters rise from the ocean and stalk frightened people across an island in scenes of sustained, moderately intense threat. There are moments of gun threat.
nudity
There is brief sight of sexualised, centrefold-style pictures of women pinned up on a wall; some of these show images of breast nudity.
additional issues
There is sight of Nazi imagery such as swastikas. There is mild bad language ('shit', 'bastard', 'ass') along with milder terms which include 'God', 'damn', 'Jesus', 'Christ' and 'hell'.
