'Maggie' Review: Not your average post-apocalyptic, zombie flick

Film: Maggie
Director: Henry Hobson
Cast: Abigail Breslin, Arnold Schwarzenegger
Rating: **

What's it about: A devastated father deals with the fact that his daughter, infected and suffering zombie-like symptoms, is due to turn soon. He has to make an important decision: turn her over to the authorities for quarantine or end her suffering himself.

What's hot: Arnold with the least dialogues ever in a horror film! But seriously, it's actually a human drama that touches you to the core. Anybody with a terminally ill family member struggles with the same dilemmas and difficult choices that Arnie's character does. As Maggie, Abigail is top-notch in all her scenes.

What's not: If you're the sort of horror film buff who enjoys scare-a-minute, jump-off-your-seat moments, this film will leave you high and dry. There are several lingering close-up shots, sans dialogue, that in all honesty, don't build the tension, but rather bore you to bits.

What to do: They say less is more. For the most part, in this film, it isn't. This isn't your average post-apocalyptic/ zombie flick.
