Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 03/04/13
The premise of a historic figure becoming a vampire slayer is ludicrous, the the creators were very serious about this. Some ideas such as this clearly need some sort of humor injected, since it is already fictionalized, why take yourselves seriously? Has the feel of an Underworld and Sleepy Hollow, but lacks the entertainment value and appropriate story telling. Abraham Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) tries to avenge his mothers death. Lacks sufficient character development for the antagonist, which makes the final battle uneventful. The mixture of history, horror, action and fiction just was not presented well, especially in the story telling department. Not at all that bad because of the stylish direction and violence, if only the screenplay were better. Overall, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is an average movie for vampire and action fanatics.
