An orphaned teenage boy flees the pandemic of animalistic vampirism with a grizzled, fang-collecting slayer who goes only by ‘Mister.’ On their very bloody road trip through the scenic back roads of North America, they face not only creatures of the night, but vengeful cultists, car trouble, and crises of faith.
This post-apocalyptic adventure film finds echoes in The Road, 28 Days Later, Blade, and I Am Legend. More than just a simple genre film, though featuring enough violence and gore for the most demanding horror fan, Stake Land is an elegantly shot film that does not shy away from the poignant moments that make stories such as this truly commanding.
