not yetwith an adult, or to talk about afteralonethe sweet spot

The official US rating is R, and we never go below it. Alone from 17, and not before, even with an adult.

The sweet spot: around 17-18, when they enjoy zombie films and can ask whether to follow orders or risk their life to save strangers. Why a sweet spot?

Official US rating: R. In France, zinema would say 15.

Why 17

The official rating, firstRated R in the US (restricted, under 17 requires an accompanying parent). zinema never goes below the country's rating: it explains it.
rule
The infected attack and biteThe infected, enraged humans with bloodied faces, charge in crowds and bite. An open bite wound is shown in close-up, and the fights end hand to hand, with clubs, and blood splattering the walls.
shown
Soldiers killed, a suicideA soldier is knocked down by a horde, dozens of infected are shot, and a bitten soldier turns his gun on himself: he is seen with the pistol in his mouth, then the picture cuts on the gunshot.
shown
Two battles and a flamethrowerThe film runs through two long battles against crowds of infected, with screams, explosions, infected burned by a flamethrower, a few jump scares and many scenes in the dark.
shown
Swearing and a racist tauntThe soldiers swear and insult each other often, with one crude sexual line. A young soldier is mocked for his eyes, and a comrade stands up for him.
