Walkabout

Movie • 1971 • Adventure  

Report
Under the pretense of having a picnic, a geologist takes his teenage daughter and 6-year-old son into the Australian outback and attempts to shoot them. When he fails, he turns the gun on himself, and the two city-bred children must contend with harsh wilderness alone. They are saved by a chance encounter with an Aborigine boy who shows them how to survive, and in the process underscores the disharmony between nature and modern life.

I guess it depends on how you define excessive gore, but if the scene showing an animals' stomach cut open with blood flowing out counts, then yes.

in the beginning of the film, the cruel treatment of fattening an ortolan is described on a radio.
lizard eating a lizard
indigenous boys hunting has him spearing and beating many different types of lizards and kangaroos.
These are likely real recordings of hunting.
A live fish is thrown out of the water, killed off-screen.
Water buffalo are killed, one is hunted by the boy while many others are shot to death by hunters.
Their bodies are shown laying and rotting after being shot, one is graphically seen being gutted by one of the hunters.
A large bird is killed off-screen, it's body is carried around by the boy.

Technically yes. There are a few scenes that show minors fully or partially nude. Most are non-sexual in nature and innocent, but a couple have a sexual focus to them. They are filmed so as to be from the characters perspective, to imply an attraction between two of the characters that are both teenagers and experiencing sexual awakening. It is not filmed from the perspective of an adult sexualizing them.

Animals die, but none of them are developed enough to really be called "characters".

Before killing himself, the father fires his gun at his children. It is not explicitly stated that he is mentally ill, but his suicide (and setting his own car on fire) do imply that he was not particularly mentally healthy (and that shooting at his children was an indication of this mental state).
