Synopsis

As a child, Abe (Abraham Lincoln) witnessed the most disturbing event of his life - the death of his mother after she has bitten by a vampire - that changed him (and his life) forever. Abe then took it on him to play hunter and end the walking dead citizenry. But then, this war with vampires was all about a tyrannical movement called slavery.

Critic's Review

Abraham Lincoln would have surely had a good laugh after seeing this one. You, on the other hand, will surely have fun while watching the movie. And that's because this wicked period tale keeps your mind busy all throughout -- you find it really hard to distinguish fact from fiction. Of course, those of you who have actually read Seth Grahame-Smith's fiction novel by the same name have all your facts in place. So much so, expectations (of those into the literally side) are a bit high. Does Abraham: Lincoln Vampire Hunter, the movie, deliver?

The setting works brilliantly. It's dark, sepia and old European charm. Add to that loads of fireworks, blood-stained teeth of vampires, bats aplenty, music in sync with the huffing-pufffing steam engine, gothic architecture... and visually you have nothing much to complain. Special mention: The 'dinner is served' scene. And if you are patient enough till the end, the action (and speed) is unlimited. Sadly, the first half is rather slow. Even the action cuts find place only when the vampires are spotted on screen. But when the fangs do what hands cannot, the energy is feverish... breathless... gruesome.

Now, that is not to say there is nothing in the earlier part of the movie that gives you your money's worth. Mary Todd ( Mary Elizabeth Winstead) as the woman who is always on the lookout for out-of-the-box adventure steals the show when she uses Lincoln's hat as a stool... simply to rise to his level (in every sense of the word) and kiss him. Later, Mary Winstead is more convincing as the mother who has lost her little son... and as the wife who chooses to be the woman behind the successful man. Next is Dominic Cooper's Henry who, as the suave, calm and if-need-be-deadly vampire, completely overshadows Benjamin Walker's Abraham Lincoln. But then it's only when the carefree and confused Benjamin turns into President does he fit the role to the tee. He is commanding, towering and above all, human. Don't miss out the makeover too - gangly with tired eyes.

Finally, it's writer Seth Grahame-Smith for kicking all that Vampire butt... and director Timur Bekmambetov who makes sure to add his bit to this entertaining and engrossing slice of historical revisionism. Watch what he does with all that American silver. Wish, apart from Lincoln's fight with the axe, he had done a little bit more with the depiction of all that Lincoln-ic speeches and anti-slavery slogans, movements and its very end.

So who is the real hero in here? None other than Abe... Abraham Lincoln... the former president of the United States... for living a life that hardly needed vampires to make it incredible!
