In rural Connecticut, baseball players Ben and Mickey are trying to survive a zombie plague. They are forced to form a battery: a catcher and a pitcher who work together to outwit the batter, the one who hits the ball. And the batter in this case just happens to be a zombie. Tough Ben and gentle Mickey frequently disagree on the best way to go about the situation. Then they suddenly hear a human voice through their walkie-talkies. Is salvation nearby, like Mickey thinks, or is Ben’s suspicion justified?

A character study set in the zombie apocalypse, it’s the perfect example of how much you can achieve with a small budget.

Slow burn zombie buddy flick. Smart writing with a lot of heart. Great tension but minimal action if that’s your thing. I love this one!

Not a lot of action but the story is worth it

A fantastic road trip buddy conflict film that was somehow made with a mere $6,000. Oh yeah, and there’s zombies.

One of the the best indie zombie films ever.

Very underrated, good slow burn that doesn’t hold your hand.

Absurdly boring. Nothing happens for the entire film and I hate all the characters

Decent low budget horror/road trip movie, the zombie setting doesn’t really define the movie, it’s more of a study of character interaction.

The story becomes stagnant at times, and some scenes feel unnecessarily long. İ just couldnt resist.

Fantastic if you divorce this from the zombie-genre it got pitched as an entry of. More of a take on the “we don’t pick our family” trope.
