More zombies! This one is much more of a meditation on AIDS than previous entries.
Wade (Arnold Schwarzenegger) decides to bring his infected daughter, Maggie (Abigail Breslin), home instead of taking her to a government quarantine to live out her last days before becoming a zombie. In this universe, the Necroambulism virus takes 6-8 weeks after initial infection to claim a victim. It's only contagious through a bite so the infected are harmless until the final stage where they get all murder-y.
Action icon Schwarzenegger, Academy Award nominee Breslin, and acting dynasty legacy Joely Richardson make this the most prestigious cast for a zombie movie you'll probably ever see. Like I said, it's more of an extended AIDS metaphor than a horror movie. If you're not really a big horror fan, this might be more your speed. There's very little violence and not a lot of gore. It's currently streaming on Kanopy.
