I feel like we’ve been waiting for this movie forever. At first it sounded like Henry Hobson’s Maggie might be a joke- Schwarzenegger protecting his zombie daughter. Now after this first trailer, ain’t nobody laughing.

The tone is somber and solemn, with Schwarzenegger saying only a few lines. The quarantine premise sets it up for him to do some serious old-fashioned Arnie ass kicking, sure, but it seems to be taking that violence and its stakes very seriously. This looks like a dramatic turn for Schwarzenegger and it gets me all kinds of excited.

“A Midwestern farmer stays by the side of his beloved teenage daughter even as she slowly turns into a cannibalistic zombie, in this daring, genre-bending debut feature.”

The film also stars also stars Abigail Breslin, Joely Richardson, Laura Cayouette and J.D. Evermore.

Maggie will be making its world premiere at the Tribeca FilmFestival on April 22 and hits theaters and VOD on May 8.
