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.

User Reviews

Pleasantly surprised

I was in the mood for a campy cheesy movie, saw this and though "Stake Land...perfect!"

I was wrong. Dead wrong.

This movie was incredibly well done and was instantly added to my list of rainy day movies.

If you haven't seen this you should.
