Stake Land ? review

With its flying stunts and doo-wop jukebox playing in a bar, Stake Land owes much to the movie Top Gun. Strange, then, that it coincides with Kelly McGillis's first appearance on our screens for more than 10 years. She stars, briefly, as a nun on the run from cannibal rapists in this post-apocalyptic genre exercise, about a vampire killer called Mister journeying through burned-out America with a lad who does a terrible voiceover. Like the film version of Cormac McCarthy's The Road, it has quasi-religious overtones and one very good scene, involving a horde of cannibalistic vampire zombie things being dropped on a town from a helicopter.
