A BRILLIANT, unusual, quirky Horror take on Abraham Lincoln

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2012)

Young Abraham witnesses a terrible event that shapes his future life & presidency.
It's utterly CRAZY of course and nothing like the upcoming "Lincoln" from Steven Spielberg (which I predict will sweep the Oscars Board in 2013...Ooops GOT THAT WRONG) but to be honest i'll end up watching this movie far far more in the future than Spielberg's film (however good that might be) Especially good for HALLOWEEN.
It kinda takes a serious tone despite the title name (which amuses me no end as I remember a little Hammer Horror film from the 1970's entitled "Captain Krono's Vampire Hunter") but it's just pure fun and looks wonderful...cinematography is amazing (the colours, the settings all very good)
I recommend the 3D version as it adds extra depth to the picture ;-) The Train sequence alone makes this film worth owning.
Benjamin Walker is to be congratulated as he gives a nice quirky turn as Abraham, Dominic Cooper is good as his friend that teaches him how to defeat the vampires & Rufus Sewell (another Brit) provides a decent villain, my surprise was at Mary Elizabeth Winstead who is very very good here as Abraham's wife Mary Todd Lincoln (she's not the hot little thing we saw in "Deathproof")
IF YOU LOVE VAMPIRE FILMS YOU REALLY SHOULD Enjoy THIS. I've read some of the reviews here and for a film called "ABRAHAM LINCOLN : VAMPIRE HUNTER" I just wonder what they were expecting (of course it deviates from History a little!!!)
GREAT HALLOWEEN PARTY NIGHT MOVIE...Just don't eat too much candy whilst watching it :-)
RocketeerFlyer gives this film a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Up Up & Away 9/10. ANOTHER FUTURE 'CULT' FAVOURITE FOR SURE.
