Genres: Drama, Horror
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?

Great zombie film
Gimly
Not at all what I was expecting. All of its shortcomings are completely understandable (though it does still have them). _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
