The Battery

About This Movie

The Battery is this interesting blend of drama and horror that really digs into the human experience amidst chaos. It follows two baseball players, Ben and Mickey, navigating a zombie apocalypse in rural Connecticut. What's striking is the way they rely on their teamwork—like a battery in baseball—while dealing with the absurdity and terror of their situation. The pacing feels laid-back yet tense, letting you soak in their relationship and the eerie quiet of the world around them. The performances are raw and genuine, especially with tangible practical effects that ground the horror.
