Check out my thoughts on Maggie (2015) along with some other bloggers for the next edition of Review Club over at Vampire Placebo. Tnx Mel!
It’s no secret that I have never been a real fan of horror or monster movies, but for some reason almost 4 years ago, I started to watch the show The Walking Dead and became a fan of Zombie movies.
In the years since, I’ve seen many more films of the genre and still remain fascinated by it.
One of the things that somewhat bothered me about most of the Zombie kind of movies is that they all (rightfully) spend most of their time having the characters run away from Zombies instead of trying to understand the human aspects of it.
I believe that that is one of the blessing of TWD because we get to see both of those sides.
When I heard about this movie a few months back, I didn’t know much about it besides that it stars Arnie and Abigail Breslin as father and daughter.
I subsequently found out that it would be a Zombie flick and that alone was a draw for me.
In general though, this is a really crappy Zombie movie because it doesn’t have many Zombies in it, but the one aspect where it truly succeeds is in showing the emotional side of the Zombie Apocalypse.
We get to experience what a person suffers through as they are slowly turning into a zombie and that gives this movie a bit of heart.
Unfortunately, the way the story follows through and also with the fact that all of the supporting characters being really bland doesn’t help this movie along at all.
Another strike against it is that it feels like it should be a normal Arnie action film, but instead they try to get a bit of emotion out of the Terminator… which isn’t an easy thing to do.
Overall, I found this movie boring and tedious and was quite happy about its short running time.
Arnie should stick to action instead of this silly zombie drama drivel!

Interesting take, i really liked this one because i have seen too many zombie films, can i ask do you think you would have rated it better if it was something like cancer is daughter was dying of instead of it trying to spin a zombie film?
