Om denne film

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 & a hardened fighter known simply as Mister as protection against this blasted earth in search of the rumoured safe haven of New Eden. Winner of the Midnight Madness Award at the Toronto International Film Festival and hailed as "the American horror film of the year" (Todd Brown, TwitchFilm.com), STAKE LAND establishes director Jim Mickle as a leader in the new generation of horror.

I've seen to many vampire films with these overly vocal battle hardened hunters. This ain't one of them. The world has ended and people are trying to move on with their lives. Excellent portrayal.

Written and filmed with surprisingly good quality! I first started watching this movie because I couldn't settle for anything else. it didn't take long to get my full attention, this film takes a new twist on the zombie theme. The closest thing that I can compare the atmosphere of the movie is to the show "the walking dead". If you like that show than you'll like this.

Although I did enjoy this movie, the vampires don't quite seem like vampires. You could have called them zombies and the movie honestly would have made a bit more sense because they're basically just mindless corpses who hunger for blood. If you can get passed that, the post-apocalyptic world of humans fighting for survival is very interesting and the blood is plentiful. A great watch!
