10 Zombie Movie Horror Fates Worse Than Death

1. Having To Watch Your Daughter Suffer - Maggie

Zombieland movie
Lionsgate

In his directing debut, Henry Hobson crafted something rather special with 2015's Maggie.

Allowing Arnold Schwarzenegger to do more than just flex his muscles and spout insta-quotable cheese-laced dialogue, Maggie afforded the Governator plenty to sink his teeth into in a way that explores his softer side.

As Wade Vogel, Arnold is a father who is faced with the ultimate dilemma. In a world where a virus is causing people to turn into zombies, he is served up the shocking revelation that his daughter Maggie (Abigail Breslin) has been bitted on her arm and will become one of the undead in merely a matter of weeks.

Rather than his daughter been forced into a quarantine facility, Wade manages to convince medical personnel to allow him to care for Maggie at his home - on the basis that, when the time comes, he is prepared to end his daughter's life.

Maggie is a truly heartbreaking watch, which is something that cannot be said with all that much frequency when discussing zombie movies. Determined not to let anyone else kill his little girl, Wade has to battle his own emotions as he toys with the reality that he's going to have to do the unthinkable - all while we see the character of Maggie gradually start to become more and more zombie-like.
