"The Battery" is an indie horror film released in 2012, written and directed by Jeremy Gardner, who also stars as Ben, one of the main characters. The movie follows the story of Ben and Mickey (played by Adam Cronheim), two former professional baseball players who find themselves thrust into a post-apocalyptic world infested with zombies.
As the film unfolds, Ben and Mickey, who were once close friends, are shown struggling with the monotony and hardships of survival. They live nomadically, moving from place to place in rural Connecticut, scavenging for supplies and constantly evading the undead. However, their contrasting personalities and differing perspectives begin to strain their relationship.
Ben is cynical, jaded, and embittered by the grim circumstances they face. He is suspicious of any potential signs of salvation, believing that hope only leads to disappointment and despair. On the other hand, Mickey remains optimistic, desperately clinging to the belief that there might still be some form of humanity left in the world.
The dynamic between Ben and Mickey takes center stage as they navigate the shattered landscape, allowing the film to explore themes of friendship, isolation, and the loss of hope. Their arguments and disagreements often revolve around their survival tactics, with Ben favoring a more cautious and solitary approach, while Mickey craves human connection and believes in the power of unity.
Amidst this backdrop, one day, the duo hears a human voice through their walkie-talkies. This unexpected encounter sparks a glimmer of hope within Mickey, fueling his belief that salvation might be within reach. However, Ben remains suspicious, concerned that it might be a trap or another form of danger.
As the narrative progresses, the audience witnesses the emotional turmoil and psychological toll the apocalypse has had on both characters. They encounter various challenges, moments of fear, and instances that test their trust in one another.
Without giving away too many spoilers, "The Battery" ultimately becomes a character-driven exploration of survival in a zombie-infested world. It delves into the deep-rooted fears, hopes, and conflicts that arise when two starkly different individuals are forced to rely on each other for their very survival.
The film masterfully combines moments of tension, horror, and humor while maintaining a focus on the character development of Ben and Mickey. It offers a fresh and unique take on the zombie genre, embracing the subtleties of human relationships in a world gone mad.
