Sick Product of a Sick System

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

hyped garbage

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I'm truly astounded by the mediocre rating for this superb little film. The Battery has humor, horror, character and visual style. It packs more cleverness into each scene than most movies - including those with 10 or 100 times the budget - manage in their entire length.The story is deliberately slim: two average guys (who happen to be baseball players) wander the countryside some time after the zombie apocalypse. One of them is easy going, happy to take each day as it comes. The other is lonely, living in denial and longing for his old life and our vanished civilization. That contrast is played out in a series of vignettes, each with a sly and subtle point.The dialog is very sharp, and the two leads are played to perfection. The pace and style of the film are unusual: it really feels like a camping holiday, where there's no hurry about anything. It's also hilariously self-aware. This is the kind of zombie movie where the characters have actually seen every previous zombie movie. Call it a post-zombie road-trip movie. It comments on the genre, while extending it in an interesting new direction. It lets us get to know its characters, slowly but thoroughly, and shows us how average people might really feel in a world empty of people but filled with undead menace.The ending came as a bit of a surprise to me, but it made more and more sense the longer I thought about it. This definitely is a movie you'll want to think about. One that will stay with you. Top-notch, on every level.

Some how they made the trailer for this film look in tresting. Well it's not I could have gone to the park and watched two tramps having a chat and it would have been far more interesting and funnier and way more scary.dull story,characters are just annoying at one point you are just watching a man smoke a whole cigarette on his own in a car.I spent all my time thinking something good would happen soon I was wrong .to sum up 2 boring guys who don't even talk to each other much spend a lot of time together doing very little and the soundtrack witch is a big part of the film as one of the main characters spends most of his time with them on his head starts to be more like a poor music video than a film

I love a zombie film and this is not just one of the best zombie films I have seen, but also one of the best films I have ever seen. I loved the relationship between the two main characters, I loved the beautiful rural setting, I loved the soundtrack, and I loved the ending. It had some great scenes, such as Ben's drink-fuelled dancing, Mickey's (unseen, only heard) forced zombie confrontation,and the final moments in the car. I know this is a film where not much happens, unlike the majority of zombie films, but I was engaged throughout. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for Mickey's return at the end....I thought that scene would never end. Loved it.

Two friends keep on the move through remote locations to avoid zombie hordes.Director, writer and actor Jeremy Gardner delivers a break out zombie film that isn't heavily reliant on zombie action set ups but captures character and atmosphere. Where as many low budget zombie films have poor execution or find it hard to meet expectations, trying to be bigger than they are or come across pretentious The Battery knows it's limits and is self aware. It's a finely constructed, mesmerising, humanistic zombie road trip. You care about the characters and follow them on their journey, it's not dialogue driven but what there is, is humorous, heartfelt and rings true. Overall, does what it says on the tin delivering a snap shot of two everyday guys surviving during a zombie apocalypse.
