Film 323/365, Day 341/365 – Stake Land

A fantastically dark and compelling story.  I don’t know why I love a good post apocalyptic film, but I just do, and this is an exceptional one.  For me it is up there with the Road.  It is a brilliant story that is fantastically told.  Why is there always some religious nuts trying to ruin the apocalypse for everyone?  It’s not enough that you have to fight off vampires or zombies but these idiots always pop up and make things that much more difficult.  Brilliant!  

Synopsis:  The world has gone to hell following the vampire outbreak.  Martin looked certain to follow until a vampire hunter known only as Mister saved him and took him under his wing.  They are trying to make it to Canada but they are not only at threat from the vampires, a religious cult called the Brotherhood is also after them.
