Jim Mickle’s indie vampire apocalypse thriller Stake Land was loved by many and has since become a cult classic. Riffing on Richard Matheson’s oft-mined novel I Am Legend and echoing Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, the original film saw actor and co-writer Nick Damici and Connor Paolo drifting across the vampire plague-ravaged landscape in search of sanctuary. Much staking indeed takes place. More than a dash of sucking as well.
Now, the film has a follow-up in Stake Land 2, which once more teams Damici and Paolo as the heroic, bloodsucker slaughtering duo. Stake Land 2 premieres on Syfy this weekend, October 15 at 9pm / 8pm Central time.
