Review of The Battery (2007) by Laurent B — 22 Aug 2014
In a market overpopulated with zombie crap thanks to the Walking Dead, The Battery arrives as truly independent and fresh take on the genre that blends comedy together with genuine human drama to achieve truly spectacular and introspective effect.
The film features awesome acting, directed, and writing, and manages to keep the viewer constantly engaged despite the relative lack of action. Somewhere between Clerks and Cormac McCarthy's The Road, The Battery explores the loneliness, existential angst, and desire in the wake of a zombie apocalypse.
A film equally about repression and macho posturing, it subtly walks the line perfectly between black comedy and existential drama without ever catering to cheap laughs or emotional manipulation.
