Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City

Parents need to know that Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, the seventh movie in the long-running franchise based on a series of video games, is also a reboot, bringing the story back to square one. Violence includes graphic zombie blood and gore, with especially icky sound effects. Expect lots of guns and shooting, deaths, gory corpses, violence against animals (a dog, a bird, a cow, and a dragonfly), a child in peril (and holding a gun), explosions, and a person on fire. A man puts his hand on a woman's leg uninvited. Language is extremely strong, with constant use of words including "f--k," "s--t," "goddamn," "a--hole," and more. There's brief cigarette smoking, and a character wakes up and immediately drinks a beer. Good sets and effects are wasted on a simplistic story; Kaya Scodelario stars.
