If you're a regular reader of Daily Dead, it's a good chance that you caught our coverage of The Battery last year as part of our Indie Spotlight. This indie zombie movie was a hit on VOD and it has been announced that Scream Factory will be releasing it to Blu-ray and DVD:

"Two former baseball players, Ben (Jeremy Gardner) and Mickey (Adam Cronheim), cut an aimless path across a desolate New England.  They stick to the back roads and forests to steer clear of the shambling corpses that patrol the once bustling cities and towns.  In order to survive, they must overcome the stark differences in each other’s personalities—Ben embraces an increasingly feral, lawless, and nomadic lifestyle—while Mickey is unable to accept the harsh realities of the new world.  Mickey refuses to engage in Ben’s violent games and longs for the creature comforts he once took for granted.  A bed, a girl, and a safe place to live.

When the men intercept a radio transmission from a seemingly thriving, protected community, Mickey will stop at nothing to find it, even though it is made perfectly clear that he is not welcome."

Jeremy Gardner wrote, directed, and starred in The Battery. The movie also features Adam Cronheim, Niels Bolle, Alana O’Brien, Jamie Pantanella, Larry Fessenden, and Kelly McQuade. Here's a look at the trailer and an exclusive clip we ran last year:
