The Battery
2012 · Movie · 101 min · ★ 6.1 · 75% critics
In rural Connecticut, baseball players try to survive a zombie plague by sticking to a buddy system: one plays catcher, the other pitcher, and together they outwit a batter who is also a zombie. Their constant disagreements are tested when a human voice breaks through their walkie-talkies, forcing tough questions about whether help is real.

About
If you want a slow, dialogue-heavy zombie buddy film with a rural, tense vibe, The Battery may hit—Not for you if you need nonstop action or lots of gore, especially compared to Land of the Dead or Stake Land.
Pros: dialogue-driven character focus; quirky zombie take; strong performances | Cons: very slow pacing; minimal gore; divisive payoff
