Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs -- and it's absolutely impossible to contain.
This movie contains 65 potentially triggering events.
(SPOILERS) the people who want to take two of our protagonists as sex slaves are immediately treated as villains both by the movie itself and (the morally good) characters.
No explicit assault actually occurs, but there is a long and grueling section of the movie wherein a female child and a female adult are sexually and emotionally terrorized by an all-male settlement attempting to take them both as wives wholly against their consent because the men are "sex starved". The older female even (briefly) attempts to drug the young girl in hopes of helping reduce the approaching trauma. It is deeply uncomfortable to sit through and I would absolutely not recommend it to anyone who has trauma concerning sexual assault.
In the first 30 seconds of the movie when the movie is showing how the world is dealing with the outbreak, there is a distinct clip where a man is shown being lynched and beaten. I stopped watching after that so I’m not sure if there are any other scenes but there’s definitely a hanging!!
There are two scenes, one where one character gouges another's eyes out, but this is done to kill them not to torture (and also it's very brief). The second is when a character is in makeshift handcuffs and is being walked somewhere, the restrained person falls over and the soldier puts a boot to their neck
The protagonist's parents committed suicide. We only see their corpses, not the act. Another character's entire family got infected. We see someone's father get shot on screen.
While there are about 10 jumpscares, most of them are not very startling. They either get announced visually before the jump happens, or they happen during already loud scenes and therefore lack impact.
Parent has a freak out and yells out of frustration when they arrive at military blockade. Shoves a metal panel (?) angrily. Apologizes to daughter afterwards.
A character has a sugar crash at one point during a chase sequence which may be misinterpreted as an anxiety attack at first. However, another character explains that they are having a sugar crash due to the lack of access to healthy foods
The protagonist stalks two enemy characters with the intent to kill them, said characters look around and are nervous about where he is and when he might attack
One male soldier is treated poorly by his comrades (implied to be for not being masculine enough), but the scene where a male character cries is treated seriously
There is the general horror of waking up to your country having died while you were comatose, and there is the (SPOILERS) dinner scene where (paraphrasing here) multiple characters discuss wanting everything to go back to normal, then "hey it's never going back to normal", then "humanity is a very brief part of earth so us not being here might be normal", ending with "I see people killing people, just like before the outbreak, so this is normal".
After that (MORE SPOILERS) a character brings up "repopulating the earth" to justify terrible actions.
