TIFF 2010: Connor Paolo, Sean Nelson & Danielle Harris at the Stake Land World Premiere

In Stake Land, newly orphaned Martin (Paolo) joins a mysterious loner (Nick Damici) in his journey to New Eden (otherwise known as Canada), a safe haven from blood-thirsty vampires. Along the way, they team up with a nun (Kelly McGillis), an ex-soldier (Nelson) and a pregnant songstress (Harris) to not only battle the night creatures but a merciless cult as well.

Stake Land is a gory action-packed film that is thoroughly entertaining. Vampire enthusiasts who are bored of the sparkly vampire trend (or Twilight films) won't be disappointed. The vampires in this film are creepy and vicious. Inevitably, when some of the cast meet their demise, you genuinely feel empathy, which is a credit to Dacimi and Jim Mickle's script writing.

At this time, Stake Land does not have a release date yet.
