Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

They are called vampires, but in some ways they act more like zombies. This is a post apocalyptic world. This movie reminded me of Zombieland, but without the humor. A man and a teen are traveling in a car. Sometimes the teen narrates. Humans have formed into groups, some religious cults, and some have resorted to cannibalism. They are headed to New Eden, although we don't know exactly why. Along the way they pick up a nun (Kelly McGillis), who was attacked by rapists, who in turn are killed by our heroes, Mister (Nick Damici) and Martin (Connor Paolo). Turns out there is a large group of people known as the Brotherhood who work with the Vampires and used them to bring down civilization, all which is God's plan (no doubt inspired by a certain US political group). Eventually a pregnant Danielle Harris joins the group.Vampire teeth have become the new currency. What we didn't find out what caused the infection or how it was spread. What was interesting is that our heroes head north because the vampires are cold blooded and don't like the cold. The movie plot was good, but the characters were softly written. There was no real effort to give them personalities unlike Zombieland which spoiled us.

I'm not doing a review of the entire film because quite frankly it's not worth my time. I'm here to let off just a little bit of steam about a pet peeve of mine when it comes to screenplay writers. Why can't they seem to remember what they've already written and keep the continuity? How hard can it be?
This is not really a spoiler but here's my example from the film.
First off we're told that Mister and Martin are headed "north, always north" to get away from the major outbreak of vampires, which, btw, are The most zombie-like vamps I've ever seen.
During their drive, the boy, in his narration, says they haven't seen any vamps lately, exclaiming that Mister says it's because they're in the highlands. That vamps are cold-blooded, like reptiles, and as soon as they get back into the low-lands they'd start seeing them again. And sure enough, they do.
Ok. Fine. We have a premise here.
However, sometime later we come upon a vamp wearing a Santa suit standing in the middle of the road. They dispatch him, and then discover and rescue a man tied up nearby in a port-a-potty, left there as vamp bait, he said.
Whilst recanting his story to our friends, he says the military recalled everyone from the Middle East and he'd then been deployed to help evacuate Canada (I know, but that's how he said it).
So, anyone catch my point?
If vamps are cold-blooded, like reptiles, as we've been led to believe, then what the hell are they doing in Canada?
As a final comment it's worth it to note there's just not that much dialogue in this movie that the writer should forget any part of it.
Then again, perhaps Mister was just wrong and I'm an overly critical viewer.
If you've seen it, you decide. If not, don't watch it just to form an opinion; it's not worth the time. Just go ahead and assume I'm right.

I don't like vampires , zombies type of movies. But this one is truly great. :)

To be perfectly honest this movie would probably be received better if it was not advertised as a vampire movie. Because I think most people, when they think about vampire, think some handsome man or sexy women who lure people into a dark alley and feed on them.The creatures in Stake Land are nothing of the sort. They are dark, vicious, gruesome monsters which are more like a rabid dog than a person. And boy do they do their job well.The movie itself has a sort of authenticity to it which you wont see in most vampire movies. For some reason the whole thing feels almost real and maybe that is because it combines the ruthlessness of vampires with the heinous sadism of some humans to create a melting pot of post apocalyptic waste land.But there are good people as well and even some creatures, such as children vampires, so called scamps, which do not seem all too hostile.So if you want to see the best vampire movie ever then forget all which you know about vampires and get immersed in a cruel, dark post apocalyptic world.
