It's violent and back when gore was realistic and used practical effects without ruining it with over the top CGI. It looks good in this film ?
If you dont like over the top violence, maybe a stream roller crushing a little league baseball player or semi truck running over a person will be theraputic for you -

It is violent and somewhat gory, but in a cartoony, over-the-top way. There isn't any torture, people might meet gruesome ends, but they die quickly without being in a lot of pain (getting run down by cars, for example). I would say it's closer to Friday the 13th than Hostel. The worst is probably a guy who gets bludgeoned (I guess) to death by soda cans from a rogue vending machine, because he has a nasty head wound and it takes him a minute to die.
There is a dead dog - you don't watch it die, it's laying in the street having been somehow killed (seriously, wtf) by a remote control toy car. Some people are sensitive to that (it bothers me if I see a pet killed onscreen unless it looks super fake, which I know is stupid, but oh well).

Right?! I swear I'm not a misanthrope, but seeing a dog or horse physically abused in a movie gets under my skin:/ I'm not great with tiny infants dying either (and I don't have children, nor am I a baby person). Basically, anything that trusts and/or needs you to take care of it!
However, any human over the age of let's say 3. Let the slaughter begin (on film, obviously)!

The uncut version was actually released to theaters in 1986. I only saw it uncut that one time. Too bad the current video versions are heavily edited. The violence was probably no worse than you'd see on the average CSI- police TV series now. The coach hit in the forehead with the soda can was pretty shocking at the time however. The effect was very well done. Too bad no one has released it uncut on video. I don't buy the story about George Romero seeing it and it making him sick. It's pretty tame compared to DAWN OF THE DEAD and DAY OF THE DEAD.

Tame as ****. It got heavily censored by the fascist MPAA to avoid an X rating. Today though, it would still be considered tame if released uncut. It is ott fantasy violence.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?
