Usually, I refrain from retelling the story in my review, you can always get it from the "Storyline" in IMDb. But this one I can do in one sentence. Survivors of zombie/vampire plague seek refuge and fight said foes along the way. Same old plot, but this flick does have some different twist. First, these zombie/vampires are fast and furious compared to the old slow moving just eat your brains type of "Dawn of the Dead" and like films. Secondly, the religious cult that seems to be in league with the zombie/vampires (okay not totally unheard of). It seemed to me to be an entertaining film if you like this genre. My wife lasted about five minutes. Stake land gives you a realistic feel with decent production values and the acting is generally good enough. My only real complaint is that sometimes the dialog is hard to discern and especially Mister seems to mumble. Maybe that gives it a realistic feel, but I got tired of going back and playing it again to see what he said. Overall, I'd recommend it if zombie/vampire/apocalypse films are something you can stomach.
