Day 11: The new Ash?

(10/11) When I first saw the front cover of this movie my heart lept. I read the description on the back and my excitement level went off the charts. Post-apocyliptic survival horror? Yes please! Then I read a review stating that this movie was Woody Harelson in Zombieland meets Bruce Campbell in The Evil Dead.

Now, I realize that these are very big claims. I love The Evil Dead as much as the next guy or gal. But, if these statements were to ring true as the credits rolled, this could possibly be the best horror movie on my list all month, and would go down in the top 5 horror films of all times in my mind!

...roughly 2 hours later...

Great film! Mister, the main character, was a fearless, vampire slaying brute. Martin, Mister's orphaned assistant, will go down as one of the best narrators in the history of film(right behind Morgan Freeman of course). The makeup was perfect and the storyline kept me in suspense. Is Stake Land the next Evil Dead? I don't think so. Is Mister the new Ash? I don't think so. Is Mister a mashup of Woody Allen and Bruce Campbell? I don't think so. Is this a bad thing? Not at all. Stake Land and Mister are the new Stake Land and Mister! I won't spoil the ending for you, but I am just not sure where the film will go next. I want to be excited, but only time will tell.
