Poor zombies. Almost 50 years after George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead—and after all the zombie movies, zombie TV shows, zombie books, and zombie videogames we've been bombarded with—it's hard to think of a monster that's more thoroughly worn out its welcome. It's a rare story that can still make zombies interesting—and while Maggie isn't one of those, it certainly tries. Set in a near-future where the effects of a "necroambulist virus" have turned the American Midwest into a desaturated dystopia, the film follows Maggie (Abigail Breslin), a dumb teenager who went and got herself infected, and her dad, Sad Arnold (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who shuffles around and spends a lot of time stoically gazing into the distance, being very sad that his daughter is slowly turning into a zombie. by Erik Henriksen
