An interesting re-imagining of Abraham Lincoln

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 2017)

As a young boy, Abraham Lincoln loses his mother to an unknown disease which later proves to be the work of a vampire. Trained by a new close friend Henry, with a story of his own regarding vampires, Abe becomes a legend in eliminating the undead but he eventually marries and retires from this gruesome hobby. Time passes but Abraham, who's become president, is not allowed to rest as the leader of vampires prepares a devastating war in order to take over America. Together with his friends and helped by his experience, Abe must once again save the situation which is in need of a savior.
It's an interesting action-horror movie which "creates" a different version of the history of Abraham Lincoln, posing him as a vampire hunter with a silver axe as his weapon. It features impressive slow- motion undead kills with great moves through eye-taking computer generated imagery. Its story unfortunately isn't on par with its good parts as it is linear and predictable most of the time. Its characters aren't very complex either but they are well played by their actors. It looks good and it is pretty enjoyable, if you're able to withstand the horror part. I certainly did so I ended up seeing a good film.
