Chaos ensues as the mother and daughter navigate through crowds, zombies, explosions, and sirens, fighting for their survival. The trailer concludes with a very tragic ending that viewers should witness for themselves, it has been embedded below:
Monroe stated in the interview, “What I loved about it was it had a lot of heart. It’s really heartbreaking, the story that you’re watching unfold. I just thought it was a really interesting and a new way to portray this video game coming out.” The Lo added, “It felt very nostalgic. The big point was going back to the ’90s, the original location of Raccoon City. And then of course, you get to the end and they’re showing visuals of the zombies, that I would then get to be a zombie. It was really quite exciting.”
