if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I had trouble believing Lincoln's mom (Robin McLeavy) was killed by a vampire when I am pretty sure it was a zombie infestation. Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) vows revenge and is taken under the tutoring of Henry Sturges (Dominic Cooper) a backwoods Van Helsing. In spite of the vampire's brute strength, our rail splitter is able to keep pace. These are not real vampires, but those new Hollywood "Twilight" vampires that can go out into the sunlight.The events of Lincoln's life is at times out of sequence and incorrect. They put a disclaimer at the beginning of the film saying history isn't always recorded correctly. That is all fine and well, but they should have made it a little closer to demonstrate the writer took some time to do some research. As a vampire film, this has a few good special effects, but nothing we haven't seen before. There are plenty of vampire films out there I thought were vastly superior to this one.The unique aspect of this film is the addition of Lincoln which frankly wasn't integrated into the film that well from an historical point of view. I thought Asylum (Lincoln vs Zombies)did a better job at integrating history. They spent a lot of money for special effects and a substandard script. Sadly, this has been become the blockbuster norm this summer. PARENTAL GUIDE: Infrequent f-bomb, brief sex scene,

I wanted to like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. After all, I like Lincoln, I like vampire stories and I like the writings of Seth Grahame-Smith - but this movie is oddly boring. It takes itself too seriously when it should have been campy, dumb fun. Plus, the action sequences are cartoony and, for the most part, tiresome. Benjamin Walker is good as Lincoln, though.

This film is freaking awesome, fun and a great time! Why in the heck does it have below a 6/10 on here? Are people seriously stupid enough to think that this piece of entertainment and satire is honestly depicting historical events in full or semi-full accuracy? What's wrong with you people? No really. Someone message me and explain the massive hate around this because I can not see what is wrong. This is pure fiction. Is there something disrespectful here that I am missing? Anyway, this is a fun piece of fiction with mostly great action, good acting and a great script. The film moves along nicely and there is never a dull moment. It is a 7/10 kind of film but I'm going to give it a 10/10 to offset the madness.

In the documentaries "Lincoln: Trial by Fire" and "Lincoln's Last Night", and the movie "Abraham Lincoln" starring Walter Huston (in the five documentary collection by Mill Creek Entertainment), there is plenty of "tightly corseted" historical accuracy.Too often in historical films, Lincoln has been portrayed as a stiff-backed academic.In "Vampire Hunter", it can be said that the historical personages are portrayed in a much more human (pardon the pun) vein.Enjoy the twist on history. Enjoy "Hunter" as a really "fun", somewhat historically accurate horror movie. Good night. Pleasant dreams! Or, to phrase it classically:"We are such stuff as dreams are made of, and our little life is rounded with a sleep." -- Shakespeare, "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
