What Parents Need to Know

About Resident Evil: Apocalypse

Parents need to know that this movie has extremely gross and graphic violence, with many disgusting deaths and gross monsters. There are a lot of "ewwwwww" moments. Characters are in extreme peril and most of them are killed. A character commits suicide and another attempts it. There is very strong language and non-sexual nudity. A strength of the movie is the portrayal of exceptionally capable and courageous women, though of course they dress for combat in very revealing clothing.

    Incredibly bloody zombie flick... GREAT!

    I love the resident evil series. but is it too violent? VERY! expect to see bloody zombie dogs rip away at a man, violent shootouts at many, many zombies, also blood is throughout and large creepy monsters heads get blown up by shotguns, people snipe zombies and there is very much gore and blood, also since this is a zombie movie people who are bitten mutilate once dead and turn greenish and get shot. there is many f***s and every other word is used at least once except for c**t but there is not much swearing for an R rated movie of this sort. there is also two topless zombies but look like regular humans who stroke their breasts and play with their nipples for about 15 seconds then again for about 3 seconds.

    awesome movie-if your 12+ watch it!!!!!!!

    This movie is a zombie horror movie so obviously theres blood and gore, but it really isn't that bad. No Sex, few quick nudity scenes, but nothing special, and language isn't too terrible. Overall great movie for kids 12 and up!

    I enjoyed this movie

    i enjoyed this movie very well and thought that the scenes that had nudity were to brief to be a very big issue and i am ok with the violence but i would not recommend this movie for some one under 13

    JUST AS GOOD AS FIRST

    This is a great sequel to a great movie. This movie, unlike the first, is loosely based on the 3rd game RE Nemesis. It has more action than the first and a little more language, but not too much. There is nudity in this movie twice, both times very brief. If you are a fan of the first, or just want to see a good zombie flick, I highly recommend RE:Apocolypse!
