Arnold Schwarzenegger has posted a clip from the upcoming zombie horror/drama Maggie on his Facebook page and it is soaked in emotional weight. The clip, which you can watch below, shows Schwarzenegger approaching two zombies, who appear to have been teens or younger that turned, that were originally coming after his daughter. As he approaches them with an axe, the clip ends, leaving us wondering what happens next.

However, what I gleaned from this was that every action bears consequence. You can see in Schwarzenegger’s eyes and how he speaks that the thought of killing these two zombies is abhorrent, that it will haunt him if he goes through with it.

“Fear, panic, and paranoia pit neighbor against neighbor. Families are ripped apart as loved ones are forced into quarantine. Authorities attempt to maintain control over communities teaming with violence. But with droves of new victims each day, it’s a losing battle for those citizens uninfected by the zombie outbreak. In Henry Hobson’s debut feature, Wade (Arnold Schwarzenegger) locates his missing teenage daughter Maggie (Abigail Breslin) at the local hospital and insists on bringing her home to care for Maggie himself. With her “disease” progressing quickly, manifesting in increasingly disturbing ways, Wade shuns the warnings of his wife and friends—risking infection from the overpoweringly ravenous Maggie.”

Maggie, which stars Schwarzenegger and Abigail Breslin as the title character, hits theaters and VOD on May 8th.
