Maggie
Arnold Schwarzenegger leads this zombie drama as a loving father placed in an agonising situation – to stay by his infested daughter’s side as she slowly turns. Co-led by Abigail Breslin, the Academy Award-nominated star of 2006's Little Miss Sunshine.
"Fear, panic, and paranoia pit neighbor against neighbor. Families are ripped apart as loved ones are forced into quarantine. Authorities attempt to maintain control over communities teaming with violence. But with droves of new victims each day, it’s a losing battle for those citizens uninfected by the zombie outbreak... Set on a picturesque farm in the Midwest, Maggie is a moving and visually stunning film that takes a quietly observant yet thrilling approach to the zombie genre." (Tribeca Film Festival)

Maggie / Reviews
Time Out
Hobson resists the temptation to spice things up with more traditional scares, and the film never allows its ghoulish window dressing to overwhelm the simple story of a father losing his oldest child.
Full reviewHollywood Reporter
A terminal-illness family drama in which the ailment happens to be zombieism, Henry Hobson's Maggie does the genre mashup thing without an ounce of tongue-in-cheek attitude.
