Suspenseful. A full-attention watch at full speed. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Netflix.
Extreme gore, which is more than most TV-MA titles carry. Beyond that, real scares and lots of jump scares.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
As humans turn into savage monsters and the world plunges into terror, a handful of survivors fight for their lives — and to hold on to their humanity.
