It starts with a man and a teenage boy driving down a dusty, deserted road. They aren’t talking and the silence is growing ever more oppressive. Then someone (or something?) starts pounding on the trunk. From the inside. Demanding to be let out. In a lot of ways, Stake Land is a modern day classic of its kind, a vampire movie with lots of gore, lots of grisly killings and lots of the undead being dispatched by the hero in some pretty intense and interesting ways. But it’s more than just a horror movie. With a strong script, a talented cast and the visionary flair of director Jim Mickle, it’s the kind of classic action movie genre fans thought filmmakers had forgotten how to make anymore.
