Handling the Undead: parents' guide

There is little action, but a decaying man bites an older man's throat, killing him, and a reanimated mother crushes her son's pet rabbit in a drawn-out, distressing scene. Reviews say it avoids gory, frenzied zombie attacks.

No content guide lists profanity and none of the reviews we read mention any. Dialogue is sparse and in Norwegian with subtitles, but we could not confirm whether there is any swearing.

No sex scenes are reported. A woman washes, dresses and dances with her dead partner, and one review notes the dead are often seen in various states of undress, but nothing is sexual.

A grieving woman deliberately takes an overdose so she can die alongside her dead partner. No recreational drug use or drunkenness is reported.

Sustained dread and grief rather than jump scares: a grandfather digs up his grandson and finds him moving but decomposed, a bloated corpse paws at a window, a mother tries to end her life, and the ending involves letting the undead boy go.
