'Fear the Walking Dead': 5 Takeaways From the 1st Look

— -- AMC just dropped the opening scene, three minutes, for the highly anticipated new series "Fear the Walking Dead," which is a prequel to the original "The Walking Dead."

The series basically depicts how the zombie phenomenon started in the first place.

Here are five takeaways from the teaser. "Fear the Walking Dead" premieres this Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.

1: It opens the way many zombie movies and shows do.

If you recall "28 Days Later," the bulk of the movie opened with Cillian Murphy in a hospital trying to figure out what happened. The same went for "The Walking Dead." Andrew Lincoln was in a similar situation, wondering why the world is a ghost town. (Granted, there is a little of the opening information in both of these, but the main part of the show and the movie opens in first-person style.)

This is how the “Fear” clip opens. A man, played by Frank Dillane, wakes up and begins to look for someone named Gloria.

2: The man searching for Gloria, Nick Clark, looks to be in some sort of run-down drug house or old church.

It's quiet, the man has red eyes, looks like he has been on a bender and goes looking for his partner. Graffiti on the walls, mattresses on the floor, this is a seedy situation.

3: We hear the terror.

As our narrator goes looking for Gloria, we hear screams in the background. You know exactly what's coming and it's coming fast.

4: The first victim?

As he turns the corner, we see the first dead body. A man with dark hair has had his throat torn out. He's dead and hasn't reanimated yet as a “walker,” but he's been taken in what looks to have been a slaughter.

5: We see Gloria!

Behind one of the rows in the church pews, we see her in all her zombie glory. She's eating someone and her glazed eyes are unmistakable.

Check it out for yourself.
