Just 24 hours ago I told you about Jim Mickle’s STAKE LAND finally scoring a release date and here we are today to show off some new goods from the flick! Damn, Dark Sky Films work fast!
If you scroll below not only will you find a brand new still from STAKE LAND but you’ll also find a new, lengthly synopsis from the film. Now the still doesn’t exactly scream action but it does look like we’ve got some dead vampire mojo going on. Scroll on down below to scope out the still and take a gander at the synopsis right here:
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 (Gossip Girl’s Connor Paolo) is taken under the wing of a grizzled, wayward hunter (In the Cut’s Nick Damici) 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 travellers, including a nun (Kelly McGillis) 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 (Tony award-winning actor Michael Cerveris) that sees the plague as the Lord’s work.
As stated the flick stars Connor Paolo, Nick Damici, Kelly McGillis and Michael Cerveris along with the always gorgeous Danielle Harris (below). Now STAKE LAND is due to come our way April 22nd so be sure to keep it here for more STAKE LAND goods that’re sure to roll out in the coming months.
