The Battery

Best horror flick i've seen in ages
The Battery is about two guys trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. But wait! Before you shake your head and go back to looking a naughty pictures of people doing naughty things, let me stress that this film is damn fine. The film is essentially a road film/buddy flick that probably could have taken place sans zombies. The zombies are there and are definitely a threat but the film is much more about the relationship between the guys and their individual relationships with their surroundings. It's not scary per se, though there are definitely horrific moments sprinkled throughout. Gorehounds will be sorely disappointed here as well. The film doesn't have much of the red stuff. So, it's not scary and it's not gory which should mean it should be terrible right? On paper it sounds cliche and dull. But the film itself is very compelling. Their surroundings are captured beautifully giving the film a strong sense of place. It's not a generic suburb or faceless city but a beautiful...

Proof that funding doesn't automatically make/break a movie
This movie is great. I believe it had a budget of $6,000 but you wouldn't guess it. This movie is complete proof that a good story and good acting make a movie, NOT hundreds of millions of dollars in CGI/marketing. I will recommend this movie to all of my friends. It does start out slow, DO NOT give up on it. It gets much much better as it goes along. The first third of the movie is introducing the characters and their personalities, the second third is about them continuing their survival, and the final third of the movie is just unbelievably amazing. I won't spoil it. I can see now why it received rave reviews at various movie festivals. If you are a fan of the zombie genre, you need to watch this movie PERIOD

Loved it!
I thought this was a great movie! Really good acting, and amazing storytelling and writing. I wish there was a way to buy a DVD copy of this.
