Drunken professor/war veteran; moral debates about journalists' duties; arguments about betrayal and loyalty; rich kid is untrustworthy; zombies eat everyone.

Extreme, gory violence throughout, including gunfire (zombies take many bullets to chests and limbs, and, most effectively, to their heads), explosions, crossbow shots (arrows go through bloody zombie heads), wrestling, and kicking. Repeated hectic battle and chase scenes as victims run and/or fight back. Zombies bite/rip open necks and eat flesh. A van slams into and decimates zombies. Girl shoots herself in the head (bloody effects and tearful friends). A hospital patient's entrails fall out (very bloody). Looting and frenzy in the street. Virtuous Amish farmer splits his own head -- and a zombie -- with his scythe. Zombie killed by pouring acid on its head (gross). Lengthy climax, with characters recording images of friends being attacked.

Girls dress in close-fitting, cleavage-revealing tops; brief shot of one young woman's breast. Brief kissing by couples. An actress complains that girls in monster movies fall and their "tits fall out" -- then later in the movie she does just that.

Relentless language, particularly "f--k." Other obscenities include "s--t," "hell," "ass" (also with "hole"), "damn," and "bitch" (with "son of a").

Professor is an alcoholic and drinks from a flask and other liquor sources frequently; he also behaves drunkenly. A couple of students hole up in a mansion, boast of drinking, and appear high in an Internet video. Cigarette smoking.
