Maggie (2015) Review

 

“Maggie” is not your traditional zombie movie. In fact it holds very little in the horror genre, leaning more instead on drama than scares. The film revolves around a man and his daughter. The daughter had been infected with the zombie virus and was slowly turning due to it. The story is that of sacrifice. What are we willing to go through to stay with the ones we love and what are we willing to do to ease their suffering?

The acting was crazy good. Arnold Schwarzenegger who played the role of Wade came across perfectly as the worried and concerned parent willing to do just about anything for his daughter. His daughter Maggie, played by Abigail Breslin fit her role in the film perfectly as well. They played off each other's strengths and the film was better because of it. You could see the love in them, their love guiding you along the path that they were having to take.

This film is also about hard decisions and personal sacrifices. The film put you in their shoes and really made you wonder what we are capable of doing. It asks hard questions and offers difficult answers. What are we capable of and what are we willing to do for family.
