Review of Maggie (2015) by Kevin M — 17 May 2015

Majority of zombie iterations see the victims who are bitten die, and turn into the walking dead rather quickly. What makes Maggie stand out from the rest is the dreadfully slow and brutal depiction of someone slowly decaying both physically and mentally, making it more emotionally effective than you had expected before going in.

People might not like this because when they see Arnold Schwarzenegger's name on the cast list, they expect the movie to be filled with his famous cheesy punch-lines and non-stop action. Maggie does quite the opposite: he's so serious here that it's strangely funny at first.

Despite knowing the outcome, Maggie proves it's the journey that makes it rather gripping and hard to watch than the destination itself.
