A slow burn narrative and mounting tension between the leads pumps some welcome, much needed electricity into the undead. Go to Full Review

The characters in The Battery never manage to earn anyone's sympathy. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Amounting to one feature-length inciting incident, the low-budget zombie film The Battery will test the limits of even the most devoted horror fans' patience. Go to Full Review

5/5
Something Else is a hell of a love story and a nightmarish monster movie and an overall fantastical experience. Go to Full Review
Sarah Gopaul Digital Journal 10/31/2018
This is one of the best zombie films to be made in quite some time, owing much to Gardner's grasp of the genre and his on-screen chemistry with Cronheim. Go to Full Review
Scott Weinberg TheHorrorShow 08/24/2015
Taken as a two-person character study/reluctant buddy movie/legitimately novel slant on a very oft-told tale, there's certainly a lot to like here. Go to Full Review

Walter W 1h Two former baseball players team up for a darkly funny road trip on the rural backroads of a post plague America with undead around every corner or basement in "The Battery" (2012) streaming on Prime. The entire film was shot on a budget of just $6,000. One of the baseballer's "Mickey’s" (Adam Cronheim) initiation for his first kill is brutal, but a necessary evil turning point for him to cope better in a world of zombies. Writer & Director Jeremy Gardner is fond of a montage to propel this 1 hour 41 minute movie forward, so expect a few neatly edited montages. It’s a daring feature length movie debut as he also stars as the lead "Ben". If you’ve ever thought the incessant noise of the undead surrounding your stranded Volvo in New England was "like rain on a tin roof" then this might be the zombie horror movie for you and proof of why I always buy cars with a sunroof. "The Battery" is an original take on a horror sub genre that mixes humour with horror in even doses to good effect. See more Jason T. @Jayhead 2d Amazing low budget real life feel zombie movie. Simply amazing. See more Monique H 4d This was insane. The tiny budget meant that the story and characters had to be solid. Honestly this was the best film of its kind. Really well done. So impressive. Note: $6000 USD budget. Remarkable. See more Rich C. @Cordu0702 Jan 19 Nice indie film. Cool cast. See more Ricardo d Oct 25 Ganha uma estrela pq o ator de Mickey é lindinho. Mas nossa esqueceram de contratar um editor de cenas. Muitas cenas feitas sem nada a acrescentar, só tédio. See more Kate D Jun 22 A really really good film.
