The Battery (2012)

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

The Battery (2012)

Post by Leisher »

Amazon Prime

Indy film where two guys are road tripping across the U.S. refusing to stop in any one place. The catch is this is post-zombie apocalypse.

The soundtrack sucks, which hurts the film because there are a lot of moments where you're listening to music while not much happens on screen. Still, this was an interesting take on the genre. Somehow they show us the stuff you never see, and it works. The boredom, being horny, the paranoia, the attempts to still be normal, and so on.

There's not a ton of stuff with the zombies. This is more of a character piece about the two guys.

It's not going to be for everyone, but it's not a bad film. I'd go so far as to say it's good despite its flaws.
