Viewing Notes

My midnight feature, fifth and final film of FF2010 Day 3,  was an audible standby wait for Jim Mickle’s latest Stake Land (2010). This was clearly the better choice and is a quite solid road film with vampires and other antagonists. It features the capable Nick Damici, who also wrote the screenplay, and Danielle Harris. Both along with Mickle did the Q&A afterwards hosted by the biggest lunkhead at the festival. Definitely enjoyed this film even tho it feels more like a really good TV pilot for what could be a great series on AMC a la The Walking Dead. This screening also featured the worst moderater of FF. Besides admitting he “didn’t do my homework” during the Q&A, he asked Danielle if she’s done any horror films before this. Think about that for a moment.
