PodBill Just what I expected

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

noonecarestoknow I am someone who has loved zombie movies since I saw Night of the Living Dead when I was 11 years old (more than 35 years ago). This is definitely in the tradition of the best films in this genre. Just like in the early Romero films, the focus is on how we as human beings respond to the zombie apocalypse. It's not an action film, and if you like World War Z you're probably not going to enjoy it. But if you're smart, and want to see some really great and insightful character development, great acting - all backed by a great soundtrack - then you'll love it. And not to undersell the horror. No spoilers, but the long scene in the car is one of the most seriously frightening things I have ever seen. Not all fancy special effects, but real terror if you have a half decent ability to project yourself into the scene.Hats off to Gardner and Cronheim - to make this for $6K makes the Night of the Living Dead budget of $60,000 (in 1968) look lavish. Watched it twice at least, and if you crowd fund any new horror movies I'm sending in some cash.

Matt Kfr So I thought this movie had a solid story where you have two guys who were originally just baseball teammates and acquaintances who decided to stick together after the zombie apocalypse.This movie had a good take on zombies being fairly slow and easy to kill. I liked the character development. There is one downside to this movie and it's why I only gave it an 8. It feels unfinished. This might be interpreted as a spoiler so spoiler warning.Throughout most of the movie the one character is trying to find these people he hears on a walkie-talkie radio. He reaches out to a girl who says that her group's safe zone is "not what it seems". All I'll say is the movie never fully builds on this. It just went in a different direction than I expected. I would have thought they would have been tormented by this group's leader (sort of like in the Telltale game The Walking Dead 2). That doesn't happen at all. Instead the rest of the movie they are stuck inside their car.It's worth watching at least once. The film makers are selling this movie for $5 on their website. Is it worth it? Not really. Maybe $2 rental on Vudu or something. They should work out a deal with Netflix, Redbox, or Youtube Red instead if they want some revenue from this movie. Or even offer it for free on Youtube and collect ad revenue.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Right, well I get suckered in by anything even remotely zombie, despite most zombie movies turning out to be bad, and "The Battery" was bad.I wonder what isolation the reviewers who wrote 'this movie is outrageously, insanely good', 'the first must-see zombie movie in a hell of a long time', 'truly amazing' and 'raises the bar' have been trapped in. If they think this was good beyond words, they are out of tune, pure and simple. Those above-mentioned statements were brandished on the DVD cover along with some nice-looking zombies.But lets stop right there! I got suckered in by false advertising so you don't have to. The aforementioned statements seems to be minted on a whole different movie, and t he zombies in the movie look nowhere near those on the DVD cover.In fact, the zombies in the movie were just people with really poor zombie make-up. But wait, it gets better, as you actually see a zombie woman consciously removing hair from her face during the motel scene. That was just so stupid.While "The Battery" offers absolutely nothing to an audience that crave proper zombie make-up and the obligatory gore, then it is disturbingly difficult to find anything worthwhile spending 96 minutes on suffering through this lack-of-zombies movie.The only thing that "The Battery" had working in its favor is the acting talents of both Jeremy Gardner and Adam Cronheim.But all in all, then this movie is not really worth suffering through, and if you do, then it is the type of movie that you watch once, then bag and tag it to let it collect dust on the movie collection shelves.This was a major disappointment and a slap in the face if you are a zombie aficionado like 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.
