Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

yammij 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

white_water I want to start by just saying this is not a movie for everybody. Especially for the most fans of the horror genre. So many horror fanatics only watch the movies for the cheap kills and gore and The Battery barely has any of that. Instead it's very slow, not much happens in it and there's barely any zombies. It's two guys walking around. If that doesn't sound interesting to you just go watch some classic zombie film with loads of gore. The Battery is not a traditional zombie flick. It's a movie that's not even trying to appeal to a wide audience. Most of the viewers will hate it. It's a zombie movie that feels like it's made exactly for me. I'll watch anything Jeremy Gardner does after this.

TheRedDeath30 This seems to be one of those horror movies that really polarizes the audience. I guess, in many ways, you could say that's true of most of the horror genre, but some movies seem to really push the divide among the audience.On one hand, I've read many really positive reviews of this movie, not just from places like HORRORHOUND and FANGORIA, but on the boards and reviews as well. Then, check out a site like NETFL*X and skim the reviews and it's full of one stars proclaiming this to be the most boring zombie movie ever. After watching this movie, I think that my opinion is that both sides are probably exaggerating their view a little too much. Those who love this movie would have you believe that it's some indie horror triumph, a classic of character study. I think, at times, it just becomes hip to praise a movie because others said it was good. Yes, I think that the two actors in this movie did an excellent job for a low-budget chiller. I did think that the director (and one of the stars) did an admirable job of building the relationship of these characters through the course of the film. That doesn't, though, excuse the fact that vast patches of this movie contain nothingness. That is not to say that I'm totally on board with those who would have you believe this is a boring failure. There are always going to be fringe zombie fans who hear "good zombie movie" and expect THE WALKING DEAD. This is not a movie that the average blood and guts fan is going to enjoy. There is little zombie interaction, almost no gore and little action. The viewer has to appreciate a movie with a little more of an artistic leaning, but with all of that said, the movie spends far too much time dwelling in its' characters that little ever happens to make this movie memorable. A huge chunk of the run-time feels like someone's home movie of their vacation to the zombie apocalypse. It's just two guys wandering around, listening to headphones and playing baseball. I can appreciate a movie that wants to take time to develop, but I need certain beats along the way. I need to be propelled into feeling like something is truly developing. Instead, I found myself checking my Twitter account now and then because all I was missing was another shot of one of the characters munching on an apple or staring into space while bad indie rock plays.I'm giving it a 6 because my rating system says that 5 is average, and I believe that this is slightly above that mark. I give it a lot of credit for trying something and I think that the director has a future. Like most young directors, though, he needs to learn that being an intelligent movie is not always enough because, in the end, we all watch movies to be entertained foremost and this most didn't do that enough for me.

Chim Bobswe I really loved this film, and i'm anxiously waiting for the second installment. This is not an action-zombie movie like Resident Evil and all of those. I'ts about the psychological despair, and trying to enjoy the little things. I would say Ben is trying to make the best out of a bad situation, and Michael is just hoping the nightmare is gonna end soon.The interactions between these two feel really genuine, the arguments they have. And when they forgot about all the world going to hell, and just mess around feel natural as well. But you can feel that both of them would rather be stranded in the end of the world with someone more like them self. Micheal makes this really obvious while Ben conceals it.To be honest i don't feel like anything is missing from this movie. You don't have to explain the outbreak, you don't have to show how they got where they are, you don't have to kill 300 zombies with a machine gun for a movie to be entertaining. I like the zombie genre because of all the endless possibilities a situation like that would bring. This is now my favorite zombie flick.
