Stake Land (2010)

After the plague
The world had been infected by vampirism.  Humanity struggles to survive.  Martin is found by Mister and taught how to survive.  They are headed north towards New Eden, a refuge for humans.  The film chronicles their trip north.  This is a serious film reminiscent of the best post apocalyptic stories.  For a film that I knew very little about, this was surprisingly good.  A genre film mixing vampires, action, horror and post apocalyptic elements, Stake Land succeeds in being an entertaining and engrossing genre film that never descends into cliche.  Thanks to Twitch for the great recommendation.

Stake Land goes right to the heart with 4 out of 5 Poblanos!
