You should watch this.

Your recommendation seems to imply no gore, but still, I have issues with suspense, so I’m still unsure.

Slightly spoiler-y description of the film’s treatment of such elements after a cut.

Things I recalled seeing that might qualify as akin to gore, or that might make someone who is very sensitive feel squeamish:

  • Very early on, I think someone has a bloody abrasion on their hand.
  • [ETA: Oh, right. I forgot to mention Erin’s cameo: In the first shot, you see a not-that-scary-looking limp hand lying on the floor, extending through an open doorway.]
  • Someone unwraps a blood-stained bandage from her forearm, revealing what looks like a bad scrape/abrasion (though I think it’s supposed to be a zombie bite?) about the size of a silver dollar.
  • At one point someone (briefly) gets a nosebleed.
  • At one point a character aims a handgun at another character.

And that’s it.

I had an intense emotional reaction to watching the film, but it wasn’t due to gore or suspense, but rather to the writing and acting and editing, operating mostly at the level of subtext. It was painful, but it was the good kind of pain.

Maybe get a second opinion from someone else who’s seen it?
