In a nutshell, it's a Road Trip Plot with ZombiesThe Battery is a 2012 American drama-horror film directed by first-time director Jeremy Gardner. The film stars Gardner and co-producer Adam Cronheim as two former baseball players trying to survive a Zombie Apocalypse. Much of the drama stems from the conflicts in the two leads' personalities. Ben (played by Gardner) quickly adapts to the lawless and constantly on the road lifestyle, Mickey is almost the opposite, refusing to face the situation and longing for a "normal" life. | |

Heroic BSoD | |
| The Battery / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Mickey suffers one at mid point. The only other survivors he knows of flatly refused to let him join and warned him against trying to contact them. Then the next morning, a (most likely) hungover Ben unleashes a zombie in his room. Mickey gets better pretty quickly, though. | |

Caught with Your Pants Down | |
| The Battery / int_657f77e4 | comment |
Caught with Your Pants Down: A darkly humorous example. One morning, as Ben goes skinny dipping, Mickey is awakened by a zombie girl pounding on his car window. Initially frightened, but seeing the girl's rather well-endowed bust pressing against the glass gives Mickey another idea. He unzips his pant and starts to masturbate furiously. And just before he climaxes, Ben, who just got back from the bath, shoots the zombie in the head, smearing her brains all over the window. Seeing Mick with his pants down, Ben almost chokes himself laughing. | |

| The Battery / int_9a1fe522 | comment |
Attractive Zombie: There is a scene in which one of the main characters begins masturbating at the sight of a not particularly horribly decayed female zombie that is ineffectually trying to break into his car, smooshing her breasts all over the door window in the process. | |
