I was somewhat prepared to be disappointed by this movie due to its rather bizarre title and story but to my enjoyment I wasn’t. I found it to be a quite enjoyable movie.

The story is somewhat bizarre indeed, but then what would you expect when Tim Burton has stuck his fingers into the production? The blurb about the film is also not exactly correct.

It’s more on the line that he enters politics and actually becomes the 16th President because of the vampires. The story also manages to, more or les... read the rest.

Joyously Bonkers!

It is what it is, a nutty premise made in nutty fashion, but for the undemanding horror fan there's a good time to be had here. Action choreography is of a very good standard, as is, perhaps surprisingly, the CGI. The history aspects of the story, one Abraham Lincoln's accent into justifiable legendary status, are of course a mixture of the based on fact and chaotic popcorn, but it's always interesting, exciting and bloody!

I imagine most horror fans have seen it by now, but if like me you are late to it, and like me you go in with low expectation levels, you could well... read the rest.

My expectations were pretty low, but I somehow actually ended up liking it even less than I thought I might. The big setpieces seem to be what Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is all about, and they are so bad. Just abysmal.

Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.
