Almost every character in this movie dies in a very gory manner, regardless of gender.

Ever since he was a kid, Vera manipulated Lionel into believing his father drowned in the ocean. In reality, his father was having an affair with another women, and it resulted in Vera drowning both of them in a bathtub.

this film is pretty widely regarded as one of the goriest films of all time, so it's safe to say if you're not comfy with excess gore you probably won't want to see it

It's a zombie baby and it's debatable if he even dies. That Zombaby can handle himself đź‘Ť

Do we have timestamps and a description so we can avoid this trigger? I really want to see it, but I'm reforied of vom. I can handle a tad bit of audio, but I hate seeing anything come out of the joke. Don't worry, Mr Jackson, we will always see Dan as the butt of the joke.

Technically yes, but it's more accidental than intentional, and is done for laughs. The morning after being bitten, Vera gets ready for a meeting with the president of the Wellington Ladies Welfare League, and accidentally cuts her cheek.

Lionel and Paquita make out. Two zombies have sex and end up creating a zombie child. They have sex one more time in the Braindead cut.
