The Battery
In rural Connecticut, baseball players Ben and Mickey are trying to survive a zombie plague. They are forced to form a battery: a catcher and a pitcher who work together to outwit the batter, the one who hits the ball. And the batter in this case just happens to be a zombie. Tough Ben and gentle Mickey frequently disagree on the best way to go about the situation. Then they suddenly hear a human voice through their walkie-talkies. Is salvation nearby, like Mickey thinks, or is Ben’s suspicion justified?

i must have seen a different film!!
Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
My friend's dad has been begging me to watch this for awhile, and I honestly don't know why. It was turrible. Slow paced, no action, no plot, no ending, just a big waste of my time. Something sorta kinda interesting happens an hour into it, but that's about it. For a 'zombie' movie, there's hardly any gore.Two baseball players named Ben and Mickey wander around during the apocalypse, scavenging for food and supplies. They talk about random boring stuff, come across a zombie every once in awhile, talk to a girl on the radio, listen to crappy indie music and get stuck in a car. That's literally it! Do yourself a favor and don't watch THE BATTERY!!!
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.
