Finally the official trailer for Jim Mickle’s toothy new vampire flick Stake Land is here, and just like the film itself, it’s a winner. Grab your own Mr. Pointy and start watchin’.

IFC Midnight is partnering with MPI Media Group and its subsidiary Dark Sky Films to release Jim Mickle’s vampire epidemic thriller that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last autumn, where it won the Midnight Madness audience award. IFC will give it a nationwide theatrical platform release beginning April 22nd with VOD to follow shortly.

Connor Paolo, Nick Damici, Kelly McGillis, Danielle Harris, Bonnie Dennison, Marianne Hagan, Chance Kelly, Adam Scarimbolo, and Sean Nelson all star. The film is produced by Dark Sky Films and Larry Fessenden’s Glass Eye Pix with producers Derek Curl, Peter Phok, Brent Kunkle, Adam Folk, and Fessenden, who also appears in the film.

Check out the goods below, and let’s not forget about the Stake Land viral site On to New Eden.

Synopsis
America is a lost nation. When an epidemic of vampirism strikes, humans find themselves on the run from vicious, feral beasts. Cities are tombs and survivors cling together in rural pockets, fearful of nightfall. When his family is slaughtered, young Martin (Gossip Girl’s Connor Paolo) is taken under the wing of a grizzled, wayward hunter (In the Cut’s Nick Damici) whose new prey are the undead.

Simply known as Mister, the vampire stalker takes Martin on a journey through the locked-down towns of America’s heartland, searching for a better place while taking down any bloodsuckers that cross their path. Along the way they recruit fellow travelers, including a nun (Kelly McGillis) who is caught in a crisis of faith when her followers turn into ravenous beasts. This ragtag family unit cautiously moves north, avoiding major thoroughfares that have been seized by The Brethren, a fundamentalist militia headed by Jebedia Loven (Tony award-winning actor Michael Cerveris) that sees the plague as the Lord’s work.

Look for more soon, including where exactly you’ll be able to see Stake Land come April 22nd. In the meantime be sure to visit the new official Stake Land page on Facebook.
