This year’s Cinemacon expo kicked off with a big presentation from Sony, as the company dropped a few closed-door reveals on attendees. Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil movie was one of the highlights, and new details on the film have begun to circulate online, revealing how the Weapons director is building something that will potentially leave audiences breathless by the time the end credits roll.

The footage showed scenes of Abrams’ character stumbling upon a house during a blizzard, after his car had broken down. With the occupants mysteriously missing, Abrams uses a telephone to reveal that all hell has broken loose, and more scenes are shown of him running for his life while infected people chase him. One moment in particular has been described as especially messed up, as the zombies fling themselves at the courier from rooftops and violently collide with the ground.
