Review
by Bob Ignizio
I'm not ashamed to admit that some of
my favorite movies are zombie movies. That
said, I figured I could easily go the rest of my life without seeing
another film about the living dead and be perfectly happy. So much
disposable dreck has been cranked out since the double whammy release
of Zack Snyder's DAWN
OF THE DEAD
remake and Edgar Wright's SHAUN
OF THE DEAD
in 2004 that the genre had become tired and played out, with no new
territory left to explore. Or so I thought. Henry Hobson's MAGGIE,
from a script by John Scott 3, finds a new twist on the old genre that's both intelligent and heartbreaking.
