Stake Land (2010)



English

The United States 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, fearing nightfall. When his family is slaughtered, young Martin (Connor Paolo) is taken under the wing of a grizzled, wayward hunter (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 Brotherhood, a fundamentalist militia, headed by Jebedia Loven (Michael Cerveris) that interprets the plague as the Lord's work.[1]
When Mister kills the son of Jebedia, who was trying to rape the nun, the group is captured by The Brotherhood and, as punishment, Mister is left at the mercy of a group of vampires. Later, Martin escapes and discovers that Mister has somehow survived the vampire attack. They drive off together, picking up a hitch-hiker in town, Belle, who is pregnant. Later, they pick up Willie, a marine, who is found hiding in a workmen's toilet. The four of them later come across, and overpower, Jebedia, whom they tie to a tree and leave for the vampires. The group is soon reunited with the nun in a US Survivor Camp but, later that night, celebrations are interrupted when the Brotherhood, using helicopters, drops vampires into the camp.
The next day, the group decides to move on towards the north again. Midway, their car breaks down and they have to continue their journey on foot. Resting at a place full of cars, they are attacked later that night from berserker vampires. The nun, while being chased by vampires, shoots herself in the head.
The next day they seek shelter in a bus and later realize that Willie goes missing. The rest search for him and find his blanket and find that Willie is killed and strung up in a tree by Jebedia, who has now become a vampire. Jebedia then tortures and kills Belle; After a seemingly one-sided battle in which Jebedia held the upper hand due to his increased physical power Martin manages to impale Jebedia, and an injured Mister is successful in delivering the final blow.
The duo then heads north again, in a pickup truck, where they meet 'Peggy' in a roadside restaurant. Martin and Peggy get close to each other and when Mister realizes this, he decides to leave them to continue the journey on their own. Martin finds Mister's skull locket hanging from the truck's mirror as a souvenir. Both Martin and Peggy then head to Canada, which is now known as 'New Eden'.
