History Film / Maggie

* UndeadChild: Nathan and her little girl Julia turn out to have become zombies, and Wade has to put them down.

* IllGirl: Only this time she's slowly turning into a zombie-like creature.

** [[spoiler:Facing the perspective of either being send to quarantine or eventually endangering her father (who refuses to put her down), Maggie opts for suicide.]]

* AdultFear: The film opens with Wade having searched for his daughter for the past two weeks after she ran away due to becoming a ZombieInfectee. The rest of the story is him grappling with the concept of OutlivingOnesOffspring.

* AfterTheEnd: The film takes place in the aftermath of a ZombieApocalypse, caused by the Necroambulist virus. In a more realistic take (if a zombie movie can be called realistic), the zombie apocalypse itself was overcome, and society and government remain in place with fairly little change. However, the Necroambulist virus is still out there thanks to zombie stragglers, and measures are in place to prevent another major outbreak, with euthanasia being the only known recourse for infection.
* AlienBlood: Those infected with the Necroambulist virus bleed a black fluid.

* CosyCatastrophe: For a given value of "cozy". It's a world where a zombie plague was for the most part contained, and expect for a curfew and quarantine being in place, things go like normal, to the point where school is going to start again soon.

* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler: Maggie chooses to end her life on her own terms before the sickness fully claims her.]]

* EyeForAnEye: It's all but said aloud that [[spoiler: Bonnie came to Vogel's house to kill infected Maggie after learning Wade had to kill Bonnie's husband and daughter]].

* FeelNoPain: The zombies gradually lose the ability to feel pain, and one sign that Maggie is losing her humanity comes when after she breaks her finger she feels nothing.

* HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler: Maggie kills herself in part to prevent the possibility she would unwilling infect her father or anyone else if she attacked them after becoming a zombie.]]

** Trent remarks the woman who bit him suddenly just jumped at him and then was regretful about her instinctive behavior when she snapped out of it.
** [[spoiler: Maggie ends up eating a captured fox in a burst of her hunger, with zero control over herself during the act]].
* ImAHumanitarian: The Necroambulist virus turns its victims into cannibals.

* JumpScare: [[spoiler: The gas station attendant turned, but apparently managed to still lock himself inside the toilet before that happened. Wade walks right into him]].

* PapaWolf: Wade makes it extremely clear he's going to ''kill'' anyone trying to take his daughter to quarantine. [[spoiler: And he would probably strangle the deputy if Maggie didn't stop him]].

** Invoked by Vern. Maggie can be either put into the quarantine or euthanized at home using an injection leading to a really painful death (and something that's given to quarantined patients anyway) ''or'' shot dead by Wade. He strongly suggests the latter as the best solution.
** [[spoiler: Facing the perspective of either being send to quarantine or eventually endangering her father (who refuses to put her down), Maggie opts for suicide]].

* ZombieInfectee: TheMovie.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[{{Tagline}} A father's duty is to protect his daughter]]]]

* ItIsDehumanizing: Bonnie mentions the doctor's report on her daughter never mentioned the little girl's name, instead calling her "patient".

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Maggie is a brunette, and while they're minor characters, her closest female school friends are blonde Candace and red-haired Allie.

* FeelNoPain: The zombies gradually lose the ability to feel pain, and one sign that Maggie is losing her humanity comes when after she breaks her finger, but feels nothing.

* HorrorHunger: During the late stages of zombification, infected begin to smell food when around humans.

** Invoked by Vern. Maggie can be either put into the quarantine or euthanized at home using an injection leading to a really painful death (and something that's given to quarantined patients anyway) ''or'' shot dead by Wade. He strongly suggests the latter as the best solution

* CosyCatastrophe: For a given value of "cozy". It's a world where a zombie plague was for the most part contained and aside curfew and quarantines being in place, things go like normal, to the point where school is going to start again soon.

* EyeForAnEye: It's all but said aloud [[spoiler: Bonnie came to Vogel's house to kill infected Maggie after learning Wade had to kill Bonnie's husband and daughter]].

* FeelNoPain: The zombies gradually lose the ability to feel pain, and is one sign that Maggie is losing her humanity after she breaks her finger, but feels nothing.
* {{Fingore}}: Maggie breaks her finger after falling off a swing, which reveals that she's quickly turning into a zombie. She later cuts it off in a state of panic.

** Trent remarks the woman who bit him suddenly just jumped at him and then was regretful about her instinctive behaviour when she snapped out of it.

* JumpScare: [[spoiler: The gas station attendant turned, but apparently managed to still lock himself inside the toilet before that happend. Wade walks right into him]].
* MercyKill: With no known cure and the general state of the patients (it's implied they eventually die anyway) during the late stages of the infection, euthanasia is a CDC approved solution. Both Vern and the sheriff recommend Wade do this to Maggie before she fully turns. [[spoiler:He can't bring himself to do it.]]

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: For starters, they are of the TechnicallyLivingZombie variety. The incubation period of the virus takes a ''few weeks'', making it relatively easy to contain in case of ZombieInfectee. And said virus is not picky about the species, as it's also affecting plant life.

** Invoked by Vern. Maggie can be either put into the quarantine or euthanized at home using an injection leading to a really painful death (and something that's given to quarantined patients anyway) ''or'' shot dead by Wade. He strongly suggests it as the best solution

* TheVirus: The Necroambulist virus, which turns people into cannibalistic zombies. It also badly damages plants and its not made clear if contimainated food might be one of the vectors for human infection.

* AWorldHalfFull: It's a post-apocalyptic setting with zombies in it and an ongoing problem on how to fully contain TheVirus, along with implied depopulation, but things are going good enough to restart school curriculum and allowing teens to hang up for a bonfire without it being TooDumbToLive.

* DeathSeeker: The infected Nathan and his daughter were very cavalier about being axed to death by Wade, not even bothering to resist when he moves in to MercyKill the two of them.

* BlackEyesOfEvil: Late stages of infection cause severe subretinal bleeding, while the blood at this point is a black ooze. This is considered one of the signs of being "turned". It's not made clear if the infected can still see at this point, given how they mostly use their sense of smell.

* EyeForAnEye: It's all but said aloud [[spoiler: Bonnie came to Vogel's house to kill infected the Maggie after learning Wade had to kill Bonnie's husband and daughter]].

* AdultFear: The film opens with Wade looking for his daughter for past two weeks after she run away due to becoming ZombieInfectee. Rest of the story is him grappling with the concept of OutlivingOnesOffspring.

* ApocalypseHow: Class 1, if not 0. The plague is essentially contained, whatever chaos that was already happend, while government and services are still going steady. However, dialogues suggest a pretty severe depopulation already happend and a lot of things are done ad-hoc.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: Late stages of infection cause severe subretinal bleeding, while the blood at this point is a black ooze. This is considered one of the signs of being "turned". It's not made clear if the infected can still see at this point, given how they mostly use sense of smell.

* CosyCatastrophe: For a given value of "cosy". It's a world where zombie plague was for the most part contained and aside curfew and quaranteen being in place, things go as if normal, to the point where school is going to start again soon.

* ShoutOut: Arnie plays in it, so of course someone has to say [[TheTerminator "I'll be back"]].

* AWorldHalfFull: It's a post-apocalyptic setting with zombies in it and an ongoing problem on how to fully contain TheVirus, along with implied depopulation, but things are going good enough to restart school curriculum and allowing teens to hang up for a bonfire without it being TooDUmbToLive.

* AdultFear: The film opens with Wade looking for his daughter for past two weeks after she run out from home after becoming ZombieInfectee. Rest of the story is him grappling with the concept of OutlivingOnesOffspring.

* MisaimedMarketing: The trailers did their very best to pretend it's a much more action and horror focused than a quite drama about letting go to a terminally ill child.

* DrivenToSuicide: Maggie [[spoiler:jumps off the roof to her death at the end, as she enters the final stage of the infection.]]

* {{Fingore}}: Maggie breaks her finger after falling off a swing, which reveals that she's quickly turning into a zombie. She later cuts it off.
