if you dont mind some blood then you are fine
it is a good movie. although there is reference to rape, it is not direct and younger kids wouldnt really understand what there talking about. this movie has blood but thats it, the only real problem is zombie violence. at first the characters say how there is nothing more important than survival, after a while they learn the true values of having one another and love. i respect this movie because the blood is not in it for shock value, but just because its necessary to make it seem realistic. it shows that you can have a good horror movie without the extreme special effects and gore. in a good way, the movie is dull. it has a bad camera and very odd cinematography. it is good because it makes it seem realistic, it wants you to feel like thats what would really happen. there wouldnt be all these explosions and stunts and things, more just like a guy walking around and finds one or two zombies, just enough to give you a freight. there is frontal male nudity, but it is only about a 3 second shot. it is not sexual at all, he is just waking up in the hospital and grabs a robe right away. nothing to worry about

28 Days Later
A really cool movie. Very bloody and intense violence. So this movie is definitely not for the faint of heart. No surprise pop-ups but the zombies themselves are pretty freaky.

Great Movie Squeamish Beware
This movie, although graphic, is a very good rendition of what zombie movies should be like. The overtones of helping others through whatever happens can come as a good change in the newer horror movies that put sex at the forefront. Now although this movie is a good one, and the action scenes can get everyone on the edge of their seat there are a three main parts that require a mature personality especially at the younger ages. The first and most obvious is the full male nudity near the beginning of the film. It is a short scene that really sets a symbolic tone, but for the sensitive beware. Second is the first third of the movie is really dark. Zombies are everywhere, running away through sewers, having to put a bullet in some guys head to stop him from becoming a zombie. It can be a bit much for a squeamish viewer to handle. Finally the last part of the movie revolves around the plans to rape the two female protagonists. Note, this is not actually done and it is not said directly "I am going to rape them", but for an older viewer it is more apparent. This is of course balanced out by the surviving male protagonist rescuing them emphasizing the main message of the film. Overall a great movie, but make sure the younger viewers are more able to cope with the violence.

Great for older teens/adults
28 Days later isnt your regular zombie movie. The"zombies" are fast and viscious and more frightening than the regular zombies of old movies. The film also features many fleshed out,sympathetic characters and features strong performances. I wouldnt recomend it for children or young teens due to a full frontal male nude,language and a couple of moments of graphic violence.

good for 14 and up
This is a really good movie, but its not quite as good as 28 weeks later, almost though. Very Bloody and Gorey at some parts and strong language. Also has 2 scenes of Nudity, one that has full male nudity, and the other that has female topless zombie nudity.

BEST HORROR MOVIE MADE!
This movie will go down as the best horror movie made. It will make you ask yourself if this could happen to our world (it probably can't.) Due to the plot, those who are easily scared should not watch this (I had nightmares for days after.) There is a very brief scene of nudity and lots of bloody violence Great film.

Scariest movie I have ever seen.
I love this movie it is one of the best scary movies ever made.Very violent, a bit of language, non sexual full frontal nudity but other than that it really depends on the kid watching it if they can handle it.

Excellent!
Finally! A well done zombie movie with a serious tone. 28 Days Later is a near perfect horror film and should be watched by more people than just the horror junkies. There is no explicit sexual content and not too much language. It's an exciting, edge of you seat horror movie that knows its limits. The best zombie movie I have ever seen and probably will ever see. Certainly one of the best horror films of the last decade.

Zombie movie, no duh violence and swears
This is so funny because I got this movie yesterday and haven't watched it yet. I went here to know what to expect. I guess wither or not the kids need to watch it depends on how easy they scare. If they don't like blood, it seems like a no go, but what do you expect from a zombie movie(they're actually not zombies, more like infected people since they're still alive)? I personally like zombie movies and don't mind blood and gore, so it sounds cool to me. Parents beware of language and make sure your kids know not to repeat it because THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT. Of course, that's just another factor people normally put in these sort of movies. Someone bits your arm off, just blow your top off and curse for all the kids instead of simply saying 'ow'. Other than that, I'm looking forward to seeing it! Disclaimer: I haven't watched it yet, just read the reveiws

Don't watch this if you get freaked out by zombies!
This film is less scary than it's sequal 28 weeks later, so if you get scared by this I wouldnt watch the next one! I thought this was a very good film and its what got me into scary movies, I love it! :)

An enjoyable spin on the decadent zombie genre (pardon the pun)
28 Days Later is a post-apocalyptic thriller that follows Jim (Cillian Murphy), one of the few survivors left after a mysterious pandemic breaks out in modern-day England, as he travels through the barren and infected city searching for allies. Though many people comment on the film's fright-meter, this movie can be frightening to some, but that's not the largest effect it has on you. The language is at a lofty high and never comes down, but just begins to climb higher as the thrills increase. Even when there isn't a chase scene or peril, the characters are still swearing, which will be a great concern for paretns. Also, the nudity isn't gratuitous or unnecessary, but it is there to create a natural atmosphere. For example, there is a full-frontal shot of male nudity in the beginning of the movie when Jim wakes up in an empty hospital... naked. And he is shown again in the shower naked later, yet only his buttocks are visible. The sexual undertones and elements of rape are VERY disturbing, but they serve the plot well. The violence is very bloody and gory, but no overdone. The most famous and powerful scene in the movie is when Jim shoves a soldier's eyeballs back into his skull with his thumbs while he is screaming and covered in blood. You hear a crack, and the mean falls silent. This is an act between good and evil and good ultimately wins. Also, the appearance and violent acts of the infected (NOT ZOMBIES!) are quite hard to look at. Some may find the humanistic and seemingly anti-God social commentary that creeps itself into the later part of the film offensive, but it's not a reason to shove the film away. This is a beautifully shot, scripted, and acted low-budget horror triumph! A classic for the masses. 4 STARS.
