The lack of blood and gore....

It neutered this movie.
I liked WWZ a lot. And I get it, they needed to keep it at PG13 in order to get a bigger audience. And sure, it was plenty fun and thrilling a ride as it was. But think how much better and scarier it could have been had we actually seen AT LEAST A LITTLE of the kind of savagery the zombies were trying to inflict on the living. We saw NONE of that. Every time you think you might get a glimpse of an attack, it gets blurred, fast-tracked to the next image. Glossed over. And every attack is a GROUP attack...a frenetic, blurry, amped-up, OVERLY fast CGI-fest.......so quick and blurry you can't really zero-in and focus on any one attack or incident.

It's a mistake not to have slowed things down a little once in a while....and shown some of the savagery....and blood. How do you have a zombie flick without those elements??
WWZ was fun....but it could (and should) have been a lot better.

I think the "Unrated" version of the movie has the blood and gore in it.

I haven't seen this myself but I heard this elsewhere when the "Unrated" version was first offered on iTunes.

I haven't seen this myself ...

Neither have I, but apparently it's the version Marc Foster the director prefers.

I read somewhere Brad Pitt wanted to be in a zombie film his kids could watch. This is it.🐭

Whoever made it PG-13 should be shot and killed

The unrated cut has all the gore put back in. It's pretty brutal in places.

What movie were you watching, the unrated cut is simply a marketing ploy to get more sales. It adds no blood and gore to the original cut.

If Ari Gold saw Chappie he would say:

I'm not saying it was a typical zombie movie gore-fest, but there's definitely a bit more.

So a bunch of scenes that are extended 3-5 seconds to add a splatter of red water is definitely more gore thats brutal in places? Boy times have changed.

Yeah I agree, it's not that I have to see blood and guts but it was actually distracting that there was no blood at all! Every now and then my mind would wander and before I knew it I was thinking, where's the blood? despite trying to put it out of my mind
