Army of the Dead follows a group of mercenaries who rob a Las Vegas casino located inside a quarantine zone amidst a zombie outbreak.
Directed by Zack Snyder, who also directed the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake, the movie co-stars Ella Purnell and Fear the Walking Dead actor Garret Dillahunt.
Speaking previously about the film, Snyder told Entertainment Weekly: "It is a full-blown, balls-to-the-wall zombie heist movie, so it's genre-on-genre in a great way.
"So you expect pure zombie mayhem, and you get that, 100 per cent. But also you get these really amazing characters on a fantastic journey.
