Hunter by night."Having discovered that vampires exist and that his mother was killed by one, the future 16th President of the United States (Walker) is recruited by a mysterious, shades-wearing figure (Cooper) and trained to lead a double life as a silver axe-wielding hunter, determined to rid his troubled nation of these ferocious demons, and of their invincible creator (Sewell).Crying out not to be taken seriously, what develops nonetheless from this pretty preposterous premise is a straight-faced blast of an offbeat monster movie (incorporating two massive set pieces), with excitement and style to spare, and lashings of gore.Its otherwise authentic biographical background makes for a grotesque history lesson (of sorts).Blu-ray Extras: Commentary, Documentary, Graphic Novel, Music Video, Trailer. ***½ (7/10)

As a young boy, Abraham Lincoln loses his mother to an unknown disease which later proves to be the work of a vampire. Trained by a new close friend Henry, with a story of his own regarding vampires, Abe becomes a legend in eliminating the undead but he eventually marries and retires from this gruesome hobby. Time passes but Abraham, who's become president, is not allowed to rest as the leader of vampires prepares a devastating war in order to take over America. Together with his friends and helped by his experience, Abe must once again save the situation which is in need of a savior.It's an interesting action-horror movie which "creates" a different version of the history of Abraham Lincoln, posing him as a vampire hunter with a silver axe as his weapon. It features impressive slow- motion undead kills with great moves through eye-taking computer generated imagery. Its story unfortunately isn't on par with its good parts as it is linear and predictable most of the time. Its characters aren't very complex either but they are well played by their actors. It looks good and it is pretty enjoyable, if you're able to withstand the horror part. I certainly did so I ended up seeing a good film.

Warning Long Review Ahead And Spoilers Included ... When I Saw Abraham Lincoln Vs. Zombies I Knew I Found A New Definition For The Word Stupid ... So I Made Up My Mind Not To See This Movie ... One Of My Google+ Movie Collection Followers Asked Me If I Had Seen This And Told Me About It ... I Decided To Give It A Try ... I Did Not Read The Book So I Can't Compare The Book To The Movie (Most Of The Bad Reviews I Read Were Because They Compared The Movie To The Book And Were Not Happy With The Movie) ... In My Opinion I Thought This Movie Was Marvelous (I Question The Low IMDb Rating) ... The Way The Writer/s Weaved The "Make Believe Story" With The Actual Events Of Lincoln's Life Was Brilliant And Well Done ... His Up Bringing, His Love Of The Law, Mary Todd, The Death Of His Son, How The Government Came To Stop Using Silver In Our Coins, His Presidency, The War Itself, His Death And More Was Just Incredibly Well Done ... Benjamin Walker Made A Good Looking Lincoln And Played The Role As I Imagine Lincoln Must Have Lived His Life ... The Fight Scenes Were Well Done (I Think Even Better Than The Fight Scenes In The Matrix) Although The Fight Scene On The Burning Bridge Were A Bit Much (Nothing Is Perfect) ... I Was Truly Truly Pleased With This Movie And Am Very Glad I Watched It ... I Was Touched With The Closing Scene As Mary Todd Calls To Lincoln Tell Him "We Are Going To Be Late For The Theater" ... I Can Go On And On There Is Simply Very Little Of This Movie That Was Not Done Well And Much More That I Can Share ... If You Have Not Seen "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Killer" You Really Should (Again In My Opinion) ... I Will Be Watching This Movie Again And Again And Again ...
