Stakeland - 2011


Martin was a normal teenage boy before the country collapsed in an empty pit of economic and political disaster. A vampire epidemic has swept across what is left of the nation's abandoned towns and cities, and it's up to Mister, a death dealing, rogue vampire hunter, to get Martin safely north to Canada, the continent's New Eden.

Badass Vampire hunter, Mister, takes a young man under his wing as he traverses a vampire filled landscape facing many Trials and tribulations on perilous the path north to new eden including crossing the infamous brotherhood. The brotherhood is a gang of  religious fanatics who control a large part of town and in this world, if the vamps don't get you, the brotherhood will.  Improbably, The head of the brotherhood  becomes a hybrid vampire when left for dead by our heroes and he returns to exact some vengeance. He manages to kill the token negro (Rule #3) and the pregnant girl before finally getting got.  Realizing that the boy is ready to stand on his own, he leaves him in the care of a capable woman. A hunter like himself.

The make-up artists should win an award for their work though. Seriously.

Since there isn't much else I want to discuss regarding this film, I present to you, my play-by-play of the most WTF??!! scene of Stakeland:

Okay, There's a hoedown. They're in a peaceful/safe township, why not?  Wait, what's that in the sky? It's the brotherhood. In a helicopter? Wait, these motherfuckers have a helicopter?!  Okay, wait. They're throwing something from it. What the fuck is--wait, are they dropping vampires?!  Are they throwing vampires from the fucking helicopter? What.The.Fuck???!!!


Honestly, I don't know how to feel about that scene. On one end, they threw vampires from a helicopter. On the other, they threw vampires from a motherfucking helicopter!

 Death From Above.

Out of Ten? 4.5
It was a survival/horror/drama. I didn't even know such a thing was even possible.

Violence? Yes
Explosions? No
Nudity? No
