In addition to the other scenes mentioned here, there is a prolonged scene arond the hour and-a-half mark involving a dead sheep. It begins with a close-up of the (bloodless) corpse, but the two characters involved end up cutting open the sheep and eating it raw. This goes on for a couple minutes.
After this, near the end of the film, a close-up of a dead rabbit is shown. A girl picks up the corpse and runs around with it, as two boys try to steal it from her.

A kitten is shown dying from the radiation. It's gruesome and simply awful.

A cat is shown asphyxiating during a fire storm (the cat was, in reality, dosed with catnip to get it to roll around as if it was dying.)

The film opens with a spider spinning a web. It's presented in a peaceful manner and isn't intended to trigger/scare the viewer.

Mr Kemp is seen attempting to drink whisky which he traded his cigarettes to another man for. It doesn't go too well with radiation sickness.

We see the events leading up to it but the camera cuts away right before the actual assault.

Technically, near the end of the film, some corpses are seen hanging in the city ruins. How they got there isn't known.

There are many people seen burning. Lots of scenes of corpses on fire or smoldering as well.

No body horror of the fantasy or sci-fi variety but a lot of gore as bodies are shown, both dead and alive, in various state of injury and decay. Often quite gruesome.

In addition to seeing that a kid has died in the initial blast (his legs are seen in rubble), one childbirth scene appears to end with a mutated and/or stillbirth. The camera never focuses on the newborn.

Only in the context of a warning that radiation can cause physical deformities and mental retardation to fetuses. Not as a slur.

Very very graphic, about 1 hour in. When the screen mentions the first symptoms of radiation, skip ahead until the next day.
1 hour and 4 minutes

Lots of spitting, either from dust/debris in the mouth or vomiting.

This film was made 17 years before 9/11, and no planes are shown crashing into buildings.

The police are initially portrayed as useless, then progressively violent and fascistic. Lots of on screen police brutality.

Not exactly but several character say they wish were dead due to the horrific conditions (post-nuclear war) that they are living with.

It's heavily implied that the baby born at the end of the film is either stillborn or malformed.

A character is shown delivering a baby at the end. It's unknown what exactly is wrong with it as the film ends with a close up of the new mother's silent scream.

Many of the survivors are depicted as being essentially homeless or living in squalor in the aftermath of nuclear war.

There is no happy ending. The UK - and modern society - has been obliterated.

Constant blood, gore and injury. Effects are low-budget but very realistic especially for the era.
