No actual or attempted sexual assault in the movie; however, Pvt. Steele makes some unsavory comments implying what he and others might do with Sarah if Miguel couldn't protect her.

This is one of the goriest zombie movies you will see.
One person is ripped apart by zombies, his head is ripped off mid scream which turns into a horrible screech as it pulls his vocal chords.
Another is torn apart by zombies, they rip out his intestines and the lower half of his body while he's still alive, he defiantly tells the zombies to "choke on em" as he dies watching them eat his guts.

Zombies. Not really cannibals (not eating each other but living people), but you will see a lot of humanoids eating humanoids, so... yeah.

A character has their forearm cut off after bitten by zombie, in an attempt to prevent them turning, though they don't live long enough to see if this works. Note that their was no anesthesia other than a rock to the head, resulting in them waking up during the process.

At the start of the movie, Sarah sits in an empty room with only a calendar. I immediately thought she was in a jail cell. It's revealed she is not.

Kind of. There are certain scenes where we're unknowingly viewing a vision from a traumatised character and unaware that they're not real until the character snaps back into the actual scene

The soldiers are mostly bigoted, portrayed in a very negative light and disliked by the other survivors. As well as racial slurs they also treat the only female survivor in the shelter poorly and make unwanted sexual comments.
