Mickle's observation of a devastated working-class America is so sharp that the horror elements, though effectively handled, come to feel like an afterthought.

Other undead movies needlessly foreground the action. "Stake Land'' has its fight scenes, but here they're secondary.
Ethan Gilsdorf, Boston Globe

Jeff Grace's melancholy music underscores the atmosphere of bleak dystopian despair, leavened by flashes of humour and hope.
Nigel Floyd, Time Out

Shows that a savvy mixture of characterization, atmosphere and gore-eographed suspense can make even the most familiar fright tropes feel vaguely organic again.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

"Stake Land" bursts with action, ideas and interesting characters.
