Re: Stake Land

I really liked Mulberry Street so I've been watching this one for a while. It's supposed to get a limited release on April 22nd. There is a newer trailer out (Bloody Disgusting has it, I'm on the phone so I can't link it). Looks pretty cool. I will check this out if it comes out near me.

I got hungry when I first saw this title but then I realized my mistake.

Re: Stake Land

I'm very curious about this. The newer "Belle" trailer looks good and creepy...

Danielle Harris I'm there!

Well, not so much "there" as "here" cause I'll most likely just rent it when it's available.

I had absolutely no interest in this until seeing that "Belle" trailer. Looks pretty good!

Re: Stake Land

I just saw this and it completely blew me away. The title made me think it would be a lame "Zombie Land" ripoff but this was way better than Zombie Land. Its closer to "The Road" in tone. A bleak, realistic tale of a group of people trying to survive in a nightmare world. Doesn't fall into the typical horror movie cliche's that you would expect it to. Its a shame this didn't get promoted more and get better distribution. Becasue I had never heard of it.

Interesting to know. I watched the trailer recently, as I was about to watch it On Demand, and it looks like a wannabe Zombieland with vamps, so I passed. Maybe I'll give it a shot after all.

Just watched this. Went in with low expectations after watching Chris Gore trash it on AOTS yesterday. But I really enjoyed it. One of the best Horror films I've seen this year.

I found this tedious to watch... it was OK, but nothing I would ever watch again.

Re: Stake Land

Add another vote to the really liked it column. I getting tired of all these vampire movies/shows, but this had a different take on the whole vampire story. It played out more like a Romero undead flick than a standard vampire flick.

Re: Stake Land

I really enjoyed this. It had a very deliberate pace. There were some good shocks and scares (the airdrop scene) Overall, a successful blind buy.

Re: Stake Land

I've kind of have wanted to see this. The BD has some damn good features too from what I can see. 2 commentaries, an hour long making of, and 49mins of production diaries.

Re: Stake Land

Watched it this past Friday....what a let down - this flick had so much potential too with how it was setup. Cheesy dialouge and Bad acting at times (but to be fair, the level of acting in the film was surprisingly good for the most part).

I would still recommend a one time watch though just for the plot devices used in general. This flick actually has a level of originality to it but was just executed poorly.

Re: Stake Land

I watched this last night. Not bad but I don't recall seeing the head kicking thing. Does anyone know if it was cut?

Re: Stake Land

I also just watched this but couldn't get through it, thought it was so awful. Usually I try to plod through to the end of anything, but I couldn't take any more.

Re: Stake Land

I had noticed the good reviews a ways back and been meaning to see this for a while.

It was a disappointment.

I was surprised how well this B movie pulled off characterization, atmosphere, and the sense of apocalypse on such a low budget. If the director and writers hadn't tried so hard and went so far to make this a bash you over the head polemics rant about religion, it could have been a solid B movie.
