Soon after an outbreak, in which vampires overrun the world, a teenager named Martin is rescued by a mysterious man, Mister, who seems to take extra satisfaction in slaying the bloodsuckers. These aren't the poofy Vamps of the TWILIGHT movies. These are vicious animals, intent on only one thing-- feeding on blood. The movie follows them as they travel across the apocalyptic landscape as they make their way up to Canada. The rumor is that it's too cold for them to survive there. Along the way they pick up some fellow travelers, including Sister, a nun (Kelly McGillis) and Belle (Danielle Harris of HATCHET II), who is pregnant. And there's a group of bad guys, who belong to a cult that sacrifices strangers to the vampires. They're led by Jebedia Loven (FRINGE's Michael Cerveris), who turns into a formidable enemy.
STAKELAND is highly recommended. One of the best horror movies released to dvd in 2011. Directed by Jim Mickle.
