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?

mickey qui se lebron james en regardant la zombie devant lui???? Peut être que c'est moi qui suis folle on sait pas
La première heure je me suis bien fait chier, je me disais que même si je suis une fan de zombies, je ne suis pas pour autant la cible de ce film ci et je penses toujours ça même après l'avoir fini même si j'ai quand même plus appréciée la 2nd partie un peu plus
Après le film reste quand même juste des gars qui essayent de survivre à une apocalypse zombie comme l'entierté des films de zombies. A quand un bon film ou c'est une femme le main lead ??

“All that time, and it was that easy; just let them in.”
Me and twin in a zombie apocalypse.**
**
Considering the low budget of only $6000, this is an amazing character study. Gotta say, that ending killed me. Really good, very underrated.

The Battery rejects the typical blood, guts, and action found in the zombie sub genre and replace it with the mundanity that is surely to take place in the apocalypse.
What I found most interesting was the relationship dynamic between Ben and Mickey. Most of the time in these zombie movies, the main characters fall on either end of the relationship spectrum. They are either friends and family from before the apocalypse or complete strangers that met during the apocalypse. Ben and Mickey are kinda in the middle ground. They were playing college baseball together when the outbreak happened, but weren’t friends before the zombies came. They knew of each other, but didn’t really know each other. You’re obligated to this person that you don’t really have the emotional foundation to support it. And I just found that very interesting and it leads to a lot of petty conflict.
I also enjoyed how real this felt. It doesn’t suffer from main character syndrome that most zombie movies feel like. Most the time, the protagonist is encountering many crazy experiences or getting out of plenty of improbable situation. This one isn’t like that. It’s very mundane. A lot of moving around encountering nothing but the abandoned buildings of a previous life. Survival feels like maintenance and routine more than a desire or action.
This kinda leads into my next point. Without spoiling too much, the ending was great. It avoids the main character syndrome in the classic trapped in a car surrounded by zombies scene. No one is coming to save them and they will spend days trying to figure out a solution.
Lastly, I felt the final scene was a good choice thematically. The whole movie is essentially them moving around for the sake of moving around. It’s routine. And in the end it’s still movement, but this time there is a goal and purpose. It’s not necessarily hopeful, but different and remains in the grounded nature of the movie
Oh, and the sound track was awesome. Fits the vibe perfectly.
