Director : Henry Hobson
Running Time : 96 mins
Wade Vogel (Schwarzenegger) finds his missing daughter Maggie (Breslin) in a quarantine section of the local hospital, having become infected by a deadly virus that turns its carriers into mindless zombies. As he takes her to spend her final days as a thinking human at the house of her stepmother Caroline (Richardson), Wade ponders the fact that the moment he will have to take her life before she transforms is growing ever closer.
This drama is not what most zombie movie fans want to see, but it is still pretty interesting. There is very little gore or death to speak of, instead we have an in depth look at how difficult a decision it can actually be to kill a loved one who has become infected, with zombification acting as a sort of parable for any life threatening illness. Schwarzenegger is an odd choice in the lead, but it works well enough and if nothing else it is interesting to see him in a dramatic role.
