A sequel to the successful 'Stake Land' (2010), this features more of what you might expect - an apocalyptic world infested with vampires and young Martin's (Connor Paol) attempts to survive it. Also, he's searching for the elusive vampire hunter Mister (Nick Damici, who also writes).
The action comprises of several enjoyable set-pieces scattered about this threadbare world. Although a low-budget offering (which helps sell the austerity of the surroundings) directors Dan Berk and Robert Olsen are never over-ambitious in a way that would make things look cheap - but more concerned with telling Damici's grounded, more intimate stories.
A downside to all this is that the episodic formula denies the film a huge sense of progression, and the project comes across as a television show. That said, this provides a solid sequel to the low-key 'Stake Land' story.
