Yeah, surprisingly restrained in the gore dept. considering Savini...
But perhaps all the better for it; the characters are all likeable (or likeably vile - Tom Towles: "Ya buncha yo-yos!") and more explicit ripping and gouging effects may have sent the movie more down the road of Return of the Living Dead by providing some heavy latex relief from the horror and claustrophobia of the beseiged house and hopeless situation they find themselves in.
Good bits at the end too, with some zombies used as worthless target practice - not often even the most reviled of "types" are presented with such utter disdain on film.
