Daybreak

Violence is frequent and bloody, but tone is light: the bloodiest injuries and demises are reserved for villains and faceless zombies, and characters often battle verbally and physically at the same time. Some gory visuals: A teen is attacked by a zombie who bites into his neck, gouts of blood; two characters battle and one gets half his hand hacked off; a character cuts off his finger, which flies into the camera; a missile hits a teen and debris, including body parts (not bloody), rains down. A zombie grabs a squirrel and bites it (we see bite but no blood); a nuclear mushroom cloud is seen several times and characters cower in the destructive winds. A 10-year-old girl wields a flamethrower. A child is trapped in a cage, screaming, by a villain that we hear "catches kids and purees them into hummus."

A teen boy's love for a girl drives much of the plot; expect flirting, dating, romantic complications. A boy says that a girl has "great tits"; another boy says that "Love is more important than boobs," and another answers that "Nothing is more important than boobs." Jokes can be rude, like when a boy says a gang will have a "circle jerk" and the gang agrees: "Gender norms don't exist anymore," says one.

Language is frequent, and colorful. Along with conventional curses ("f--k," "f--king," "s--t," "ass," "a--hole," "damn"), characters use profane words to describe/insult each other. Angelica, 10, has particularly blue dialogue, calling others such things as "sphincter stain" and "s--t dips." Language can have a sexual edge, like when characters are called "p---ies" (meaning cowards) or a character says that a gang has a "hard-on" for him (wants to kill him). A boy restrains himself from using the word "bitch" because he doesn't want to use "bad words to describe young women -- I'm part of the solution."

Teens imbibe drugs and alcohol, like in one scene when Wesley lights up a joint, talks about his love of "chronic bubonic," and seems willing to give Angelica a drag when she asks for one. In another scene, a teen drinks what looks to be a fancy cocktail with an umbrella in it.
