Stake Land

looks like an indi film, might have some potential. Can't tell if it's zombies or vampires; the name evokes vamps but some of the creatures look zed to me. Either way, it's got the paw type backdrop that I get a kick out of. We'll see.

The film is about a teenager who is engaged to a man named Mister after the parents are murdered by vampires. Vampires, more like zombies, which proliferate throughout the world leaving only pockets of humanity, some people still like us or are in a cult is disgusting that the vampires as the angels of God.

The music masterfully matches the combination of horror and pathos. Jeff Grace has composed a score that is a character himself. Like the best genre film, the soundtrack only serves to telegraph the horrors to come without overpowering the narrative with strong-arm signals.

If anyone is looking to kill an hour or two this movie is definitely a candidate. I enjoyed it well enough , even though it got increasingly cheesy towards the end.

I got it yesterday and was expecting a cheap "Zombieland" knockoff but with vampires. It was really was good beyond my expectations.

I have seen it and liked it quite a bit. Stake Land is far better than it deserves to be. Hopefully the DVD takes off and the people responsible for SL get more funding for their next projects.

Splee! Oh I am watching this! Needing something to take the edge of the "no more Walking Dead or Supernatural for a while" shakes :lol:

I bought it yesterday and I like it. It's not great, I would give it 7/10, but it well worth watching for anyone who likes the PAW genre and zombies or vampires

I liked it.

Only problem is the same one sees in every PAW movie, food and supplies for several people seem to just find themselves.

Just added it to my Netflix queue. Looks like it should be a good one.

The first scene is very amateur (poor make-up, acting, etc.). After that it improves.

I really liked the overall sense of the world that was conveyed in many ways. Some survivors were highly organized, some had gone completely rabid (supporting the infected or just preying on other survivors). How everyone shares news/rumors with anyone they meet.

The interaction of the Man and Boy was also well done. The Boy develops throughout the story, with brief scenes showing how the Man is constantly training him. The ending, although abrupt, ties in nicely with the openning. Also, after you think about it, it just seems like the logical outcome.

In all, a very well thought out post-apocalyptic movie done on a very low budget.

I thought it was a decent enough movie about vamps. Not bad in my opinion for a low budget indie movie.

Pretty good movie - save for some of the tropes that annoy me from movies:

1) Teradactyl scream that all monsters do.
2) Little back packs, big things that always seem to be with them in camp (the massive amounts of cordage, bear traps and "noisy" things hanging off the cordage)

Other than those and a few other minor items, good story, good acting, some suprises, even touching in the end.

Will be looking out for this one, sounds like it beats the I Am Omega-esque z-graders hands down that I've been watching lately, lol.
