10 Promising Horror Movies That Totally Sucked
5. Maggie
Arnold Schwarzenegger in a zombie movie, you say? Sign us up! Bet it's loaded with action, explosions and a bit where Arnie shoots his zombie wife and says, "Consider that a divorce!"
No?
So listless that it might be an episode of Fear The Walking Dead under another name, Maggie consists of Arnie moping about while his daughter (Abigail Breslin) slowly succumbs to infection after being bitten. Just like FTWD, it’s basically a zombie story for people who’ve never watched a zombie movie in their lives.
Back in the 90s, Arnie was being mooted as a possible lead in the long-gestating remake of I Am Legend, and if he’d done the movie instead of End Of Days, then he would’ve been taking on zombies with machine guns, a very different approach from the version that eventually starred Will Smith. Maggie’s lack of firepower turns out to be a bad idea because if ever a movie needed endless sequences of the Austrian Oak mowing down hordes of flesh-eaters, it’s this one.
