Review of Stake Land (2010) by Jack C — 26 Aug 2012

Another movie that I've watched recently where a modern & interesting take is given to, what is usually, derivative genre fayre. Great performances from the lead duo, this is a vampire movie that plays like a zombie movie if zombie movies played like The Walking Dead.

Great scenes of brutality in a bleak & dark world intersperse a brilliant character story where the main leads are given time to evolve & make you actually care for them. Blackly funny in places, horrific at times & heart-wrenching when it needs to be - this is a great take on a worn-to-death genre.
