No actual or attempted sexual assault in the movie; however, Pvt. Steele makes some unsavory comments implying what he and others might do with Sarah if Miguel couldn't protect her.

Zombies. Not really cannibals (not eating each other but living people), but you will see a lot of humanoids eating humanoids, so... yeah.

A person's arm is burned to cauterize an amputation site, but I don't think anyone is burned to death.

A character has their forearm cut off after bitten by zombie, in an attempt to prevent them turning, though they don't live long enough to see if this works. Note that their was no anesthesia other than a rock to the head, resulting in them waking up during the process.

Not specifically, but there are instances of of heads missing large portions or severely mutilated in ways that resemble a squashed or caved-in head.

One soldier character shoots himself in the head just before being overtaken by a zombie horde; the soldier who let that zombie horde in did so by committing suicide-by-zombie.

The soldiers are mostly bigoted, portrayed in a very negative light and disliked by the other survivors. As well as racial slurs they also treat the only female survivor in the shelter poorly and make unwanted sexual comments.
