Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter


Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (R) 2012


Directed by Timur Bekmambetov

Here We Go:  I have to admit that the concept of Abraham Lincoln slaying vampires kept me away from this movie for awhile.  But eventually it was time to see how it was possible to mash Honest Abe and vampires.  Surprisingly, the concept worked.  Abraham Lincoln wasn't a necessary part of the story (it could have been anyone) but the writers did a nice job of mixing Abe's story into the plot of vampire hunting.  There were a few scenes that were a bit outlandish but what do you expect when you are watching a movie about Abraham Lincoln being a vampire hunter?  Overall this was an entertaining pleasant surprise.  


Bottom Line:  Watch it but only if it's free.
