Description

America has fallen. A vampiric scourge sweeps the nation, turning brother on brother and parent on child as the blood-hungry beasts take deeper and deeper hold upon the land. It's hard for the survivors to know whether to be more afraid of the creatures themselves or the violent religious groups that have sprung up in response, but there is clearly only one choice: fight or die. Connor Paolo (GOSSIP GIRL) stars as Martin, a young man traveling with only his taciturn mentor and a hardened fighter known simply as Mister as protection against this blasted earth in search of the rumoured safe haven of New Eden. STAKE LAND establishes director Jim Mickle as a leader in the new generation of horror.

    This film is so out of place compared to the genre I almost overlooked it. If you liked Cold in July you will like this. Its also a neat little cast that includes Kelly McGillis and the eternal beauty Danielle Harris from Halloween 4-5 fame. It has that original dawn of the dead feel to it but in small american towns. It does give the film some scope and you actually want to invest in the characters. You follow the boy and Mister through the perils of religious fanactics,vampires and very suspicious survivors. Every person I have shown the film has been blown away and liked it. Jim Mickle creates these little microcosmic worlds in his films. Im always impressed but what he can do with so little compared to the rest of hollywood. The film deserves to be seen.
