Martin was a normal teenage boy before the country collapsed in an empty pit of economic and political disaster. A vampire epidemic has swept across what is left of the nation’s abandoned towns and cities, and it’s up to Mister, a death dealing, rogue vampire hunter, to get Martin safely north to Canada, the continent’s New Eden.
In most cases, I am not really a fan of horror movies, though I always try to make time for a good vampire movie and in a way what really set Stake Land apart from everything else was that it can be regarded as a ‘ Supernatural road movie’. The real interesting thing about was that the vampires portrayed in the movie really where not your garden variety vampire with supernatural abilities that everybody has seen in almost every single vampire movie ever produced. Most of the vampires portrayed in Stake Land where more animallistic.
This movie also shows that for the most part people tend to be resilient and do their best to adjust to life as best they can, even if they have to adjust to the aftermath of a catastrophic vampire apocalypse that caused the melt down of modern society.
