Halloween Bites! Stake Land

“We were on our own now, me and Mister.”

When you think of post-apocalyptic horror, zombies almost always come to mind. That, or aliens or something along those lines. For 2010’s Stake Land, it’s vampires that have run rampant across the world. It’s this world where we get to witness the struggles of life in a vampire epidemic for Mister and Martin, two strangers who befriend one another in order to survive and decide to make their way to a protected city in Canada called New Eden.

The vampires in this film are fast and brutal. They also appear to be evolving. To top it all off, there are cults that have arisen that worship the vampires and hunt down humans that prove to be very good at killing these newfound gods. One of the deadliest vampire hunters in the United States, now known as Stake Land, is Mister, and he has drawn the attention of the vicious Brotherhood. He decides to team up wit a young boy named Martin and they attempt to make their way to New Eden in Canada.

While making their way north, the duo befriend a nun, a young pregnant woman, and a man called Willie. They square off with the Brotherhood on a number of occasions, with a sinister leader named Jebedia that proves to be a challenging foe. Do the two heroes make it to New Eden? Watch Stake Land in order to find out what happens!

The film has a solid cast that features Nick Damici as Mister, Connor Paolo as Martin, Kelly McGillis as Sister, Danielle Harris as Belle, Sean Nelson as Willie, and Michael Cerveris as Jebedia. All of them do a great job in their roles.
