Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies: Emancipate This!, cries Abe as he beheads a Zombie!1818, the young Abe's family is stricken by a Zombie Outbreak, leaving him the sole survivor.November 1863, a lone survivor of a raid on a fort behind Confederate lines is seriously ill but talks of cannibalism and the dead rising. Knowing the truth Abe leads a team of Secret Service agents to deal with the Zombies.Reaching the Fort, the gallant band finds that it has some interesting inhabitants: a young Confederate corporal named Pat Garrett; General Stonewall Jackson; a 12 year old Teddy Roosevelt; Abe's Ex, Mary Owens. Even John Wilkes Booth is part of Lincoln's team as a double agent.Made on a tiny budget ($150,000) in comparison to Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and it shows at times. It also lacks that films vein of humour but it plays around with history to produce an entertaining story line. 6/10

Director Richard Schenkman, working from his own original script, brings to the screen a unique alternate history of the Civil War and the role of the Great Emancipator in the Union victory. The amazing concept of Abraham Lincoln having to engage in battle with the walking dead in order to, not only preserve the Union, but to purge the Confederacy of evil, is astounding on its face. However, this film is so well conceived and beautifully realized with outstanding production values that the audience is quickly caught up in this dark struggle between Lincoln and the zombies. Bill Oberst, Jr. gives a superb performance as Lincoln and it is much more than a caricature. Oberst's Lincoln is a tortured soul looking unblinkingly into the eyes of evil incarnate and it's an amazing portrayal. Debra Crittenden is simply excellent and deeply moving as the troubled Mary Todd Lincoln, loyal wife but unstable ally to the president. At times horrific, with unforgettable imagery and stunning action sequences, this is a film that will please genre fans and historical scholars alike.

During the American Civil War, Abraham Lincoln (Bill Oberst Jr.) realizes that there are zombies in the Confederate army and he organizes a small group of agents from the Secret Service to take over a fort in Savannah from the enemy to fight against the undead. He has to face not only the walking dead, but also Confederate soldiers, a traitor and his former love Mary Owens (Baby Norman). I saw the IMDb rating of "Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies" and decided to watch this flick; therefore that is my fault. I was expecting to see a funny trash, but I found an awfully boring movie with no story, dreadful acting and cheap CGI. The lead actor is terrible and it might be sad and offensive for the American viewers to see the use the name of American personalities in such lame movie. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): Not Available

This is a classic, "its so bad, it's good film". I had a few friends over for a man movie night and this seemed like a good fit. Senseless violence with poor visual effects and a touch of historical incorrectness. The evening was more of a "mystery science theater 3000" showing of a really crappy Netflix B movie special. We had more fun hurling insults at the film than following the ridiculous plot line. If you love fake dollar store mustache thrillers, this movie is for you. All in all it was really fun to watch.
