Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter (2012) R18+ Main Cast: Benjamin Walker, Dominic Cooper, Mary Elizabeth WinsteadAt the age of 9, Abraham Lincoln witnesses his mother being killed by a vampire, Jack Barts. Some 10 years later, he unsuccessfully tries to eliminate Barts but in the process makes the acquaintance of Henry Sturgess who teaches him how to fight and what is required to kill a vampire. The quid pro quo is that Abe will kill only those vampires that Henry directs him to. Abe relocates to Springfield where he gets a job as a store clerk while he studies the law and kills vampires by night. He also meets and eventually marries the pretty Mary Todd. Many years later as President of the United States, he comes to realize that vampires are fighting with the Confederate forces. As a result he mounts his own campaign to defeat them.  I won't say too much on this because it has only just come out, I went and saw it the Friday night just past and I did enjoy it alot more than other Vampire movies. I even enjoyed it more than the first two Underworld movies (NOTHING ever beats Rise of the Lycans) Let me say this, I am a huge Vampire fan (I've never even touched a Twilight book) and I like real traditional/folkloric Vampires. So no 'rings to stop the sun burning you' etc etc 1. I did not like the teeth of the Vampires in this movie, I like the simple one set of fangs, these ones had full mouths of fangs. 2. I would have preferred that they went into more detail about how the Vampires adapted to the sunlight as that COULD be an excusable adaptation to the whole concept if thought of well.. I wasn't too sure how I felt about the whole Abe Lincoln thing but I was also not aware that it was done by the mashup novelist Seth Grahame-Smith, who did the well known pride prejudice and zombies, until I sort of tossed around the whole idea in my head whilst watching the movie and looked it up afterwards. Anyway overall, I like Vampires in 'olden times' Rise of the Lycans is my favorite because I LOVE medieval times and this one hit a real soft spot for me because I say sometimes nothing looked more awesome then the silhouette of Abe in his trench and top hat spinning that brutal axe. Damn.  Favourite | Good | Neutral | Burn It
