A pair of baseball players are making their way around the rural upper-East coast, salvaging what provisions they can in the gloomy, desolate aftermath of an infectious zombie outbreak. Their conflicting personalities clash over preferred survival methods and things get even more turbulent upon coming across other non-infected survivors.
I'm keeping my synopsis kinda vague because I feel the less said about the direction this movie takes, the better for those who haven't seen yet seen it. "The Battery" is an immensely gripping movie that's driven solely on its two main characters, their relationship and struggles, and with minimal 'action'. It's done masterfully and never gets boring, despite its more low-key approach to an end-of-the-world zombie scenario. I must stress, it's not trying to be some kind of pretentious 'anti-horror', nor is it played for laughs. While it has its share of passing, casual humor, it's played straight and actually has a highly depressing tone as well. Not to mention a great use of music and is incredibly unpredictable. I straight up LOVED "The Battery" and urge you to check it out.
