Get A Taste Of Jim Mickle's STAKE LAND In Gruesome Clip
Back in November of 2009, at the American Film Market, I had the chance to see the first five minutes of Jim Mickle's Stake Land. Impressed? Yeah, you could say that. Here's part of what I said at the time:
Mickle wastes absolute no time at all plunging viewers right into the thick of his vampiric apocalypse. The action is immediate, visceral and bloody. The execution is tight, the characters all immediately engaging. And this thing has a mean streak to it, one shot in particular - and no, I'm not going to spoil it - making it very clear that no holds are barred in this picture.
Well, with the film having now launched it's limited theatrical run the good folks at MPI / Dark Sky have released a chunk of the footage I saw for your perusal. It's a little under half of the reel I saw at AFM with the introduction of the characters removed - unfortunate as things have more punch when you know who all of these people are - but it does include the specific moment that I reference above. It's nasty. And you can check it out below.
