Critics Consensus

Maggie lurches a bit clumsily at times, but is partially redeemed by strong performances and an unexpectedly thoughtful tone.

Maggie could have been a rare treat... Instead, what we get is a genuinely new take that winds up feeling, somehow, like the same old stuff we've seen a million times before.

It's a serious, heartfelt, dramatic turn, and he totally nails it. I'm as surprised as you are.

Observer (UK)

Breslin is affecting as the ordinary young woman beneath the festering flesh, while Arnie shows a delicacy you'd never have suspected, at least not from his current TV ads with meerkats.

Rated: 3/5

Dave Aldridge

Radio Times

Maggie is a film of subtlety with a different kind of horror that tears at the heartstrings more than the flesh, and which also sees Little Miss Sunshine star Breslin make the seamless transition from child star to serious actress.

Rated: 4/5

Vague Visages

A film that deals more with heady emotional concepts than surviving a viral apocalypse, Maggie is the perfect actor’s showcase for a man long thought to have given up drama.

This zombie apocalypse movie didn’t insult your intelligence like most zombie moves do. It was a sad and touching take on the genre

A portrait of the human side of living through a deadly pandemic. Really sad and sweet. This is slow and emotional, not an action movie.

This is a niche zombie movie that focuses in on the emotions that come along with your family, friends and neighbors who have “turned”. If you lack empathy or compassion then this isn’t the movie for you. It’s meant to make you feel. Side note, I never realized how good of an actor Arnold Schwarzenegger is. He was very believable in this role.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I love zombie movies that redefine the genre. This is not your typical and cliche zombie movie. It offers a different take on the way people handle the problem. Arnold gives a stellar performance as a dad who takes care of his affected daughter, til she turns completely. It's when he is presented with this heart wrenching choice, that you see and feel the pain, that he has too encompass. He has to turn his daughter Maggie into the authorities for termination.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

A father (Schwarzenegger) and daughter (Abigail Breslin) deal with accepting the consequences of her being bitten by a zombie. A subtle horror that is thoughtful account of the strong relationship that should exist between a father and his daughter. Ahnold pulls off one of his strongest performances, turning his famous scowl into a mournful intensity. Breslin compliments him well. Also interesting was they gave the infection a name, Necroambulism. Beautifully shot.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
