Maggie (film)

Maggie is a 2015 American post-apocalyptic zombie drama film directed by Henry Hobson, in his directorial debut, and written by John Scott 3. The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Abigail Breslin, and Joely Richardson.

The story revolves around Wade Vogel (Schwarzenegger), a farmer in the American Midwest, as he struggles to cope with his teenage daughter, Maggie (Breslin), being infected by a "necroambulous" virus that slowly turns her into a zombie. The film follows their difficult journey as Maggie's condition deteriorates and Wade grapples with the agonizing choices he must make to protect his daughter and his family.

Maggie differs from typical zombie films, focusing more on the emotional and psychological impact of the virus on the affected and their loved ones, rather than large-scale action or horror sequences. It explores themes of family, love, grief, and difficult moral decisions in the face of unavoidable loss.
