Maggie Vogel (Breslin), a teenage girl, is infected by a lethal outbreak of a virus that transforms its victims into cannibalistic killers. Her father, Wade (Schwarzenegger), stays by her side as she is brought home to live out her final days as a human – but a fateful decision gets nearer and nearer to reality…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

It might not be exactly what people think of when they imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger in a zombie movie, but Maggie has enough thoughtful drama and heart-breaking performances to make it a satisfying movie overall.
