Stake Land is a decent, atmospheric vampire/zombie film. Yet, it's made-for-tv budget let's it down. The film is often cheesy, lacks much in terms of character depth and the plot is largely forgettable. I came very close to ending the filmStake Land is a decent, atmospheric vampire/zombie film. Yet, it's made-for-tv budget let's it down. The film is often cheesy, lacks much in terms of character depth and the plot is largely forgettable. I came very close to ending the film within the first 15 minutes, I found it cheesier and lower budget than even the tv show The Walking Dead, but the ridiculously high reviews made me stick with it, and while I still think they're grossly overrating the film, it is pretty watchable.

Meh. It's not a bad movie, but it's not a good movie either.

It's not a bad movie, but it's not a good movie either. The characters often do stupid things apparently for no other reason than to further the story (sleeping out in the open, then abandoning the previously proven safety of a vehicle to run through a cornfield to name but a couple foolish things). And despite the world ending as we know it under a wave of vampires, with people living in constant fear and scavenging to survive, apparently civilization is still intact enough for people to make a living as barbers and bartenders in the post-apocalypse...yah, okay.

If you're a diehard fan zombie/apocalypse movies, it's probably worth a look. Just go in expecting nothing better than a decent made-for-TV original SyFy movie, and you can't be disappointed.
