| Stake Land | comment |
Stake Land is a 2010 vampire film about a teenager and the man who saved his life accumulating a small group of survivors trying to survive and avoid Feral Vampires and a twisted cult in a post-apocalyptic world, fighting their way to what they hope to be a safe zone in Quebec, or "New Eden".The brutality and horror of this new world is self-evident from the outset and yet there is still those have hope and rare moments of joy within this harsh setting. The film received generally positive reviews but only a limited release, which makes it something of a hidden gem for fans of the genre.A sequel, Stakelander, was released in 2016. | |

Creator Cameo | |
| Stake Land / int_127fc252 | comment |
Creator Cameo: Larry Fessenden appears as the bartender in Lincoln and Biggs of Bat and Doc Earl's group in the sequel. It’s unclear if they’re meant to be the same character or not though, Biggs and Martin show no signs of recognizing each other, but Martin's meeting with the bartender was a brief one and several years old at that point). | |

I Surrender, Suckers: Juda fakes pulling a Heel–Face Turn from the Brotherhood, and then uses a Wounded Gazelle Gambit to mount an escape, killing an innocent girl who had been taking care of him in the process. Suffice it to say, him dying by Martin's knife is fairly cathartic. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Stake Land / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: No place is truly safe in this reality: you can have gated and walled communities, sure, but that doesn't stop the Brotherhood from air-dropping a bunch of vampires into the middle of it. Even the most fortified areas, full of hunters, aren't entirely safe, as the Brotherhood is fully able to exploit what actually makes them fortified, such as vampire-melting UV lights, and destroy them. | |

| Stake Land / int_21f60711 | comment |
Good Is Not Soft: Almost universal. In Lincoln we see people tying up vampires to die when the sun rises, Bat proposes killing Juda as soon as he see he's a prisoner, in the first lockdown the sheriff pats Mister and Martin down a bit roughly before finding the fangs and letting them in, Strivington is actively fighting the brotherhood, Peggy is a good archer firing at people she knew when they were human and Mister (and eventually Martin) get plenty of Kick The Son Of A Bitch moments. | |

After the End | |
| Stake Land / int_334e48a1 | comment |
After the End: The world has been infested with Feral Vampires and society has collapsed. The vamps have ravaged America and it's long since fallen. Later we learn the Middle East is swarming with them to the extent the military action there was called to an end because there was no human enemy left to fight. Once the US government leaders flee, leaving their country high and dry, most soldiers abandon their posts to try and make it to their families. Apocalyptic cults emerge shortly thereafter and rumours of cannibals are mentioned. | |

Blessed with Suck | |
| Stake Land / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
Blessed with Suck: Vampires are very powerful, and only staking, sunlight, and severing their spine can kill them. However, they are very feral and have no human thoughts anymore, thus making becoming a vampire a Fate Worse than Death and a guarantee to make one crazy and bloodthirsty. Only Jebediah manages to retain his "humanity", but it is unclear if he is a full vampire or still turning, and he was already insane to start with. | |

Humans Are Bastards: Played straight with the Brotherhood but averted with just about everyone else! Mister and Martin encounter many kind, generous people in their travels. Plenty of them are a little rough around the edges but that is understandable given the circumstances. The second film plays this a little straighter but even that has the people at Bat and Doc's compound showing their is still hope for humanity. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Both films have many sympathetic characters dying, but the main vampire threat dying with them, while Martin continues his journey. The first film is also optimistic and having all three of the lock-down towns Martin and Mister stop at not fall to the vampire hordes (although one takes losses), or turn out to have been Evil All Along, leaving a sense of hope that the decent part of humanity can survive and endure to come back someday. | |

| Stake Land / int_56766569 | comment |
Token Religious Teammate: Sister, who's a nun, keeps her faith even in the post-apocalyptic world. Her character arc even symbolizes it, as she sacrifices herself twice to save Martin and the group, with the second time causing her death. Christian scripture is incredibly positive towards the notion of sacrifice for the sake of others. Willie is also carrying a rosary in a bonus scene providing his origin, and Martin's narration doesn't sound atheist, the way he refers to the Brotherhood as false prophets. | |

Pragmatic Villainy: When the group is captured by the Brotherhood, Martin is kept alive and made a forced conscript as opposed to being left to die like Mister. At that time the Brotherhood had no beef with him and they obviously need all the manpower they can get. They also point out to Martin that he has very slim chances to survive on his own so working for them is his best option. | |

Idiot Ball | |
| Stake Land / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: The characters methodically set up a perimeter of traps to alert them when vamps are coming, only to camp out in the open, in the middle of a junkyard, with dozens of rows of broken down cars the vamps can hide in and around. Although the group is alerted, they still don't know where the vamps are, leading to Sister's death. Willie going out to use the bathroom alone in the middle of the night in dangerous territory. Martin grasps it firmly in The Stakelander. After ten years of survival, you would think he would realize that the little girl he was chasing was obviously leading him into a trap. Mister takes it in the sequel when his softer, more empathic additude leans him to spare Juda due to his age and begging. This proves to be a bad idea in the long run. | |

Bolivian Army Ending: In the second-to-last scene of The Stakelander, Mister is seen fighting off a group of vampires to buy time for Martin to get away. Although we don't see him die, it is implied that he does. | |

Faux Affably Evil: Jebediah Loven puts on a façade of civility, all whilst he commits such acts as murder, raping a woman, or having a man eaten to death. This puts him in sharp contrast to Mister, who is rough and surly but ultimately a decent, caring person. Juda in the sequel acts like a kindly Punch-Clock Villain but repays compassion with murder. | |

Safe Zone Hope Spot | |
| Stake Land / int_99dd103c | comment |
Safe Zone Hope Spot: Played with. Throughout the two films we see settlements that looked pretty safe being attacked by vampires courtesy of the Brotherhood sabotaging things [air-dropping the vampires in the first film and in the second by having moles killing hunters and destroying the perimeter defenses as the horde comes in). The one in the first movie, Strivington, becomes a major bloodbath but survives, but the one in the second film isn't so lucky. Also the first film ends with Martin and Peggy arriving to New Eden, which is safe enough for them to make a comfortable living there and even raise children during the Time Skip between films, but the Brotherhood attacks it in the first few minutes of the second film, killing Peggy and their child immediately. A couple of minor towns shown before Strivington in the first movie also avoid falling to the vampires, although there the main characters were only passing through from the start and never thought about staying. | |

Foreshadowing: After the brotherhood attack a stronghold by dropping vamps into the settlement of Strivington, one of their soldiers is seen with a bite on his neck and dark veins appearing on his face but still retains his mind. Later Jebediah has the same veins on this own face after being turned. It may be that in the early stages of infection victims retain their ability to think for a time. | |

Wasteland Elder: Each of the three featured towns holding out against the vampire hordes has an elderly or middle-aged authority figure who provides some exposition and security (a bartender, a sheriff, and a militia officer). It's unclear whether any of them are the actual leaders of their settlements, but the later two have at least some authority. The sequel features a fortified compound run by an aging Manly Gay Battle Couple who come across as pretty good leaders. | |

| Stake Land / int_f0fe7e80 | comment |
But Now I Must Go: When Mister sees Martin taking care of a vampire solo, he leaves for parts unknown. The second film implies that Mister did this in an attempt to prevent his own bitterness and violent hate for vampires from infecting Martin, who he saw as still having a chance at happiness in New Eden with Peggy. | |

Promotion to Parent | |
| Stake Land / int_f12d9d83 | comment |
Promotion to Parent: Mister is this to Martin, outright calling him his son at the finale of the second film. Martin, in turn, refers to Mister as the only family he has left and jokingly refers to him as "Pappy" at one point in the second film. | |

Right-Wing Militia Fanatic | |
| Stake Land / int_f98356f | comment |
Right-Wing Militia Fanatic: The Brotherhood is implied to be white supremacist on top of their cultish behaviors, judging by how Jebediah describes Sister as being of "pure stock" and their references to being "Aryan" on their radio broadcast. The Strivington Volunteer Militia is a subversion, although it's unclear if they are an actual militia or a heroic The Remnant and they don't seem particularly right-wing. | |

No Healthcare in the Apocalypse | |
| Stake Land / int_fbf08d90 | comment |
No Healthcare in the Apocalypse: There is a doctor in the first lockdown town that Mister and Martin pass through, but she's running low on supplies and is deeply relieved to be given a few bottles of pills for her future patients. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Stake Land / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Loven of all people gets one when he essentially takes Martin in as a low ranking member of the Brotherhood instead of killing him. Then again, man power is a precious commodity in Stake Land and killing a fit person who could be put to good work is not helpful. It also might be something of emotional transference as Loven's teenage son whom Mister killed recently died and Martin is likely close in age. Hearing that Martin is an orphan may have sparked some fatherly compassion in Loven. A far more literal (and heroic) version this done by Mister, who pets an old barber's dog when asking about the lockdown town they are in. This takes place during montage of scenes where Mister is making sure Martin, his Morality Pet, is properly taken care by having him looked over by a doctor and getting his hair cut. It goes a long way in establish Mister as a rough, blunt, and surly but ultimate good man who is a devoted and caring Parental Substitute. | |
