Sex & Nudity

Mild
76 of 145 found this mild
A sniper scopes over a woman riding a man during sex. Only her bare upper back is seen.
A nude woman is scrubbed in a shower, we see her bare back and nipple briefly.
A husband and wife kiss.
A group of men with binoculars say that they've spotted a man in a window "jerking off" (unseen) and make crude jokes about it.

Violence & Gore

Severe
76 of 84 found this severe
When people are infected with a "rage" virus they vomit blood and goo, their eyes turn red and they become maniacal and try to infect the non-infected.
A man, who has been infected begins to foam at the mouth, he writhes, yells and flails on the floor, his eyes turn red, he vomits blood, and he attacks a woman punching her several times, biting her and gouging her eyes out with his thumbs, slowly (there is a lot of blood in this scene).
A woman stands near the wall of a house, and she is grabbed by someone from the outside, who pulls on her arm until it snaps off (we see the bone and blood and tissue and she screams).
A woman's arm is bitten off, blood spurts, and she vomits a large amount of blood, thrashes and begins to attack other people.
An elderly man is knocked to the ground by several infected people, who bite and pull him apart (we hear him scream, we see blood squirt and he thrashes).
Many infected people run through streets and are shot by snipers (blood spurts and we see the arm of one person shot off, with blood splattering and tissue left dangling).
A man with a crowbar attacks several infected people striking them hard on the head and body (we hear squishing and cracking and blood spurts and sprays).
A man is chased by many infected people, he jumps onto a boat, the infected jump also trying to catch him, and another man who's in the boat is pulled out and attacked (we see blood in the water); the other man speeds away in the boat and it appears that someone is struck by the blades of the motor (the water turns red).
A man panics and clings onto the bottom of a helicopter that's in the air, the helicopter seems to lose control but it stabilizes and flies through large crowds of infected people, slicing them up with its blade. We see bodies being hacked to pieces closeup, with lots of blood and crunching sounds. We also see the aftermath of this scene, with lots of blood and guts lying around as well as people cut in half below the waist still twitching.
A man is sprayed with flames and burns; he falls to his knees in flames, and then onto the ground while a boy and a girl watch in terror.
