Arnie, in decent film shocker

Revisado en el Reino Unido 🇬🇧 el 9 de diciembre de 2015

If you had told me a year ago, that I would be praising a film featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger for it's acting subtly and compassionate filmmaking I would have seriously considered having you sectioned under the mental health act. Yet here I am in the aftermath of watching Schwarzenegger versus zombies and I am in shock. Any misconceptions any of you have going into this film put them aside and give the film a spin you might just be as surprised as I was.....
Maggie first and foremost is a strong character driven film that uses the zombie metaphor to take a strong look at the human condition, in particular, the roles of parenthood and the need to protect our children and to know when to finally let go are put under the microscope.

Schwarzenegger plays wade a farmer and loving father, whose daughter has been infected with a zombie-like virus, but unlike nearly every other zombie film this world hasn't gone all to hell. The infection process is a slow and gradual one with different stages, the final stage resulting in a more typical zombie. While the filmmakers don't really develop the science behind the virus, it is a real pleasure to have a zombie film that at least attempts to portray an outbreak in believable manner. As much as I love films like the Day of the Dead I have always had a problem with the end of life as we know it sort of outcome of these films.

More importantly, it allows the film to take a much more human approach to the genre. Maggie is a film that is not so much about what would you do in a zombie infected world? But more about how far would you go for one of your children, the zombie virus is clearly a metaphor for any number of fatal conditions. Through the use of tight direction, downbeat cinematography and some excellent acting from Schwarzenegger Abigail Breslin Maggie manages to have more heart and depth than most so called family dramas such as Lorenzio's Oil or Beaches. It is as though the fact that we know the final outcome of the film isn't just death, but an undeath of zombification and loss of all emotions that it manages to resist the downward spiral into schmaltz that is so often the bane of these types of films.

Schwarzenegger is a revelation, while his acting will never win him an Oscar, his performance here is totally devoid of all his usual gurning and overacting. He delivers a subtle heartfelt performance that tugs on the heart strings. You end up casting aside all the misconceptions of him and become fully immersed in his struggle with promising to protect his daughter and doing what really needs to be done. It is only when a pair of fully zombiefied people make an appearance that we get even the slightest hint of the Schwarzenegger of old. It's a clever move, up until that point we are not sure if he can do the right thing, but it is one thing to kill a stranger and a totally different thing to kill your daughter. You feel his pain, should he just put a bullet in her and give her the more painless way out or should he hold on to what he loves the most and only put her out of her misery once she reaches the final stages of infection?

The film itself is pretty much devoid of any action or what horror fans would traditionally call scares. The chills come from a much more subtle place. Two scenes in particular stand out, the first of which is where maggie meets some of her friends, the tension leading up to the scenes conclusion is palpable, and the viewer is left there wondering how it will play out. The second one is between Maggie and her stepmother, Maggie makes a comment about her father cooking something, and when the penny drops as to the significance of this your heart will drop as well. It is a very clever scene that shows perfectly that real horror doesn't come from a swathe of blood and viscera, but from the subtle implied horror of a simple phrase or look.

The film's pastel grey colour scheme and excellent soundtrack add layers to films downbeat tone. In particular the opening scene of Schwarzenegger driving into the city to pick up his daughter is pitch perfect, the long continuous shot of him driving is hypnotic and is an excellent introduction to one of the most surprising films of the year.

Maggie is without a doubt one of the highlights of this years horror films. A clever, intelligent film that breaks out of the restraints and cliches of the genre. It is the sort of film to show to your friends who claim to not like horror. Deeply moving, deeply affectionMaggie will challenge your preconceptions of both zombie films and Schwarzenegger .

Film is okay, a bit dull and trying to be too atmospherical though.

Guillermo Del Toro Does It Again - Brilliant

Revisado en el Reino Unido 🇬🇧 el 23 de mayo de 2014

Compra verificada

This movie is really a cracker and it made me jump in several places.

At the onset of the 2008 financial crisis, a distraught man, Jeffrey D'Asange, kills his business partners and estranged wife before taking his children, three-year-old Victoria and one-year-old Lilly, away from home. Driving dangerously fast on a snowy road, Jeffrey loses control and the car slides off and down the mountain, crashing into the woods. Surviving, he takes the children into an abandoned cabin and builds a fire, even though Victoria is resistant, thinking she saw someone inside. Planning to kill his daughters and commit suicide, he holds a gun to Victoria's head, but a shadowy figure drags him away and snaps his neck. They are rescued many years later and try to begin a new life, but there is something or someone who won't let them go.

The two little girls Victoria, (the elder of the two children) played by Morgan McGarry when she was younger and by Megan Charpentier when she was older and Lilly, (the youngest), played by Maya and Sierra Dawe when she was young and Isabelle Nélisse when she was older played their parts brilliantly and convincingly - particular the actresses who played Lilly, they were amazing.

Two young sisters 'Victoria' and 'Lily' are seemingly left to fend for themselves
in a remote cabin their Father had found before being mysteriously killed.
With Both of their parents lost, are the children really alone ?
Five years pass, the Children are discovered living seemingly abandoned.
Their Fathers Brother 'Luke' wants to care for the girls with his wife 'Annabel'

The film has a genuine 'Chill-Factor' which grows in intensity throughout the film
as visual images become seriously more frequent.

Scary, thrilling and good!

I remember when Mama was released, I as well as my friends didn't know what to think of it. It seemed like a change of pace to the genre but the trailer didn't completely sell me on it. When I would talk about it with people who've seen it, they'd all tell me it was bad/average and to skip it so.. I listened. I'm so glad that I didn't avoid watching it now though because it's such an amazing and underrated film. The characters, the acting, the setting, were all perfect and made me wish it was longer. The quality on the blu ray is really good too! I recommend it to anyone, especially during Halloween/Winter because this movie is just phenomenal.

Try and Watch...

Revisado en el Reino Unido 🇬🇧 el 27 de noviembre de 2015

Compra verificada

'Maggie' is a Zombie Drama about a Father (Schwarzenegger) struggling to cope with life after his young Daughter (Breslin) is turning into a zombie. Will he do the right thing before its too late? or will they find a cure? You will have to try and watch. The reason why I say "try" is because this is a very slow paced film and can be quite boring at times. There are loads of pointless scenes in which not much happens and there is hardly much dialogue for most of the movie. Also I found this a bit depressing due to the theme of the film but it would have been nice to see more 'happy' moments in it. I also hated the ending as it felt rushed and it kind of needed an aftermath (what will the father do now? etc.). That said, The acting was brilliant and the makeup\ zombie effects were impressive. 2.5 stars for me!

Mama mia!

It's got a mix of primal fears and feelings so well balanced you get both scared and moved at the same time.
A strange and unpredictable horror, not just because of the plot, but the subject itself and the way it is treated along the story.
Most directors/authors could just go an easier "boooo!" path, with worse and more common results.
Here they were bold and original, and that made the film not just another horror. Excellent blu ray

Genius move casting Schwarzenegger, but the movie is simply too slow

Revisado en el Reino Unido 🇬🇧 el 27 de marzo de 2017

It was good to see Arnold cast in a different role from his usual action hero part and be able to play it so convincingly. He plays the grief stricken parent perfectly, trying in vain to save his daughter from an incurable disease. Who says Arnie can't act? The movie though just wasn't for me. It was far too slow and I really wish they hadn't tried to make this yet another zombie movie - it could and would have worked better with some other terminal illness. 5 stars for Arnie, 3 for the movie.

Not the greatest film in the world

Not the greatest film in the world. But very easy to watch, and you don't feel like it was a waste of time watching it. Arnie was actually very good. Abigail Breslin always great, even in not so great films. If you have a couple of hours to spare you could certainly do worse than watch this.
