THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB’S SUPER SCARY MOVIE CHALLENGE DAY 22: The Battery (2012)

October 22: A Horror Film Shot for less than S10,000 (That’s not found footage)

Former baseball players  Ben (director and writer Jeremy Gardner) and Mickey (Adam Cronheim) are roaming the highways as a zombie outbreak has destroyed the world. They were trapped in a house in Massachusetts for three months. Mickey’s family is now dead and Ben won’t sleep inside. They also meet members of a survivors group known as the Orchid — Annie (Alana O’Brien) and Frank (Larry Fessenden) — who won’t allow them to join.

Ben forces Mickey to kill his first zombie and learn how to finally be someone who can make it in this world. Annie still won’t allow them to join and later causes Mickey to have to rescue Ben. He’s bitten by a zombie and has to be killed by his best friend. He promises Andy that he will get revenge.

When Ben and Mickey are trapped in the car surrounded by zombies, they get drunk and start singing “Show Me the Way to Go Home.” That part made me laugh even if it’s quite sad. This is an interesting movie. It cost $6,000 and was made very much as they went.

You can watch this on Tubi.
