It’s probably pretty fair to say that the last film in the Hunger Games series, Mockingjay – Part 2, went freakin’ nuts. The majority of the movie takes place during a massive siege of a dystopian capitol, where elaborate technology has been used to booby trap the whole city. This leads to impromptu lakes of molten tar and, in one the standout sequences of Mockingjay – Part 2, a terrifying zombie attack in the city’s sewer system.

Diehard of the books and movies know that these creepy beasts were actually “Mutts,” but the way filmmaker Francis Lawrence filmed it, their big moment evoked everything from Dawn of the Dead to Alien. It’s a horrifying scene, and in this exclusive clip from the home video release of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, available on March 8, and the Blu-ray release which hits stores on March 22, 2016.
