NIGHT ELEVEN: Stake Land (2010)

STAKE LAND

(2010, dir. Jim Mickle, 98 min.)

It's kind of funny to note how it sorta follows the same basic character dynamics as something like ZOMBIELAND (wormy teen loser gets trained up by a gung-ho survivalist/surrogate dad figure, with an occasional third-wheel character or love interest) but plays it so absolutely straight that it becomes vaguely camp.
