Those experiments turn people into bloodthirsty zombies and monsters. The latest trailer gives viewers a full frontal look at some of the film's creatures.

The trailer also includes an image of the words "Itchy Tasty" written in blood on the mirror. This is also a reference to an infected animal keeper from the original 1996 game.

Sony released the first trailer on Oct. 7. The film also includes video game characters Jill Valentine (Hannah John-Kamen), William Birkin (Neal McDonough), Leon S. Kennedy (Avan Jogia), Albert Wesker (Tom Hopper) and Chief Brian Irons (Donal Logue).
