Dark Sky Films will release STAKE LAND on DVD and Blu-ray on August 2. It’s too early for special features and artwork, but we’ll let you know when they’re announced. The vampire film hit limited theaters and video on demand last month to positive buzz.

The picture is directed by Jim Mickle (MULBERRY STREET), who co-wrote the script with Nick Damici. Connor Paolo, Damici, Kelly McGillis, Danielle Harris (bellow), Bonnie Dennison, Marianne Hagan, Chance Kelly, Adam Scarimbolo, Sean Nelson and Michael Cerveris star.

America is a lost nation. When an epidemic of vampirism strikes, humans find themselves on the run from vicious, feral beasts. Cities are tombs and survivors cling together in rural pockets, fearful of nightfall. When his family is slaughtered, young Martin is taken under the wing of a grizzled, wayward hunter whose new prey are the undead.

Simply known as Mister, the vampire stalker takes Martin on a journey through the locked-down towns of America’s heartland, searching for a better place while taking down any bloodsuckers that cross their path. Along the way they recruit fellow travelers, including a nun who is caught in a crisis of faith when her followers turn into ravenous beasts. This ragtag family unit cautiously moves north, avoiding major thoroughfares that have been seized by The Brethren, a fundamentalist militia headed by Jebedia Loven that sees the plague as the Lord’s work.
