An older character has an obsession with his coworkers daughter.- there is kidnapping, we see he has a collection of her things, and a rape scene that is interrupted toward the very end of the movie
[SPOILERS AHEAD] I wouldn't say it's for spectacle, but Meg goes through some pretty traumatizing stuff in the movie, including being restrained and nearly sexually assaulted and then being choked to death.
You see the body of a dead cat several times and then it's 'reanimated' and killed again. There are graphic shots of the fight with the cat and the aftermath.
There is a rape scene
[SPOILERS]
A woman wakes up naked and strapped to a table. She screams as her breasts are fondled and licked. The attacker is about to go further, but is interupted.
Meg's mouth is covered so she can't scream when she's kidnapped by her reanimated father. At the end of the movie a large intestine-like appendage restrains Herbert and covers his mouth. In both cases, muffled screaming and cries for help can be heard for several seconds.
A re-animated corpse takes down a morgue's steel door which lands over a man, the re-animated jumps over it, crushing the man, and then throws him arround the room to death. Pretty difficult to not break a bone during that.
Yes, this movies sfx are pretty darn good for the 80s so be wary, this isn’t cherry juice and silly cgi. There are lots of corpses and bodies in varying decay, toward the end we see a character get tied up in entrails
A good chunk of the film takes place inside of a medical school which closely resembles a hospital (not a mental institution, there is still a padded cell shown with a reanimated zombie inside though)
