Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Some movies are just bloody amazing (The Princess Bride), some are intentionally awful (Sharknado). So of course, there has to be movies that exist in the middle ground. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, is one such movie. The storyline is fairly interesting, taking the classic life of Lincoln and adding in the fantasy of destroying vampires. He fixates on one particular monster who killed his mother, and pursues training in order to become strong enough to fight against the vampires living in America.

As far as a movie goes, there are some clear ups and downs. When the fight scenes use a bit more CGI than normal, holy crap, is it obvious. Like, Neo-spinning-on-a-pole-to-kick-people levels of bad. On the other hand, Lincoln's signature axe serves as a primary weapon in his fight against evil, and the fight scenes that use the axe are really cool to watch. It's incredibly flashy, and makes the fighting interesting to watch.


Story: 7 out of 10 silvered axes
It's about a president fighting vampires with an axe. That's amusing.

Visual: 6 out of 10 stretchy bodies
The horse scene is so bad...But the axe scenes are so cool...

Overall: 7 out of 10 outrageous hats
It's worth a watch, maybe even two. It made for an entertaining evening. I've certainly seen worse movies.
