A new clip from Resident Evil was shown during San Diego Comic-Con… and we’re in for some new nightmares.
Director Zach Cregger introduced the clip, specifying that it takes place “early in the movie.” The scene opens with Bryan (Austin Abrams) coming across a flipped cop car in a snowy field at night. Bryan asks as he crawls in the passenger side to check on the officer, as the door has mysteriously been left open. He goes to check the pulse and… the radio suddenly turns on (which jump-scared the audience).
“Hello, I’m not a cop, so I don’t know what to say, but I have an emergency here. Can you hear me?” says Bryan, but there’s no response. As he looks around the car, the tension builds, but instead of the police officer returning from the dead, a zombified woman appears outside the car window.
Bryan grabs the cop’s gun and tells the undead woman to stop as she creepily crawls around the car towards him on all fours. Bryan kicks her in the face and tries to shoot her, but the gun doesn’t fire. She chases him around the car, as he screams and frantically fiddles with the gun until he realizes the safety is still on. He accidentally fires the gun off to the side and almost drops it.
Suddenly, the zombie woman disappears. Bryan slowly makes his way around the car, looking for the zombie when she suddenly comes running out of the darkness. Bryan stumbles backwards, firing missed shot after missed shot, and ultimately falls over. Lying on the ground, he shoots the gun one more time, which knocks the zombie off her feet like a cannon. End of clip.
Cregger noted that the finished theatrical footage will be somewhat different from what was shown during the panel, and hilariously added: “They managed to cut about 25 f-words out of that clip.”
