Maggie
In a zombie apocalypse, a father (Arnold Schwarzenegger) must care for his infected daughter (Abigail Breslin) until she eventually succumbs to her disease and has to be quarantined.
If one were to expect a zombie film where Arnie kicks zombie arse then they are going to be sorely disappointed as Maggie is a much slower, more emotional resonant piece of work. Unlike many previous zombie flicks, Maggie is a film that is very much focused on the affect of the zombie outbreak on the lives of a small family rather than looking at the affect on society as whole. Serving as metaphor for terminal illness, Maggie is a film that is often an emotional rich one that is powered by a strong performances by Abigail Breslin and even Arnold Schwarzenegger, though Schwarzenegger does struggle with some of the poorer dialogue. However, the film is a slow one, the pace does meander and the score is a little intrusive as it acts more of a cue to cry more than anything else, yet the film is a moving one and one that is driven by good performances and an emotionally afflicting father-daughter relationship.
