I want to, as usual, try to preface bias that I personally have that will come up in the film I'm reviewing. I hate when movies use partial truths, or even truthful things, then bastardize (shit all over) them just to make things viable in their movie. This is the entire movie, and it pissed me off safe to say. When you're making a B-movie (at best), don't try to actually make it a real movie with a love story and historical events. I wanted to see brainless action and vampire slaughter. I got occasional vampire killing mixed with half-assed history lessons full of half-truths they use liberally to try to make you believe it's possible Abraham Lincoln was a vampire hunter. It was OK, I just didn't like to sit there and watch the bullshit mount. The CGI is OK, the vampire killing is pretty enjoyable, they weave a barely acceptable story of how vampire hunting, Honest Abe, and the Civil War could all blend together. It's far from Army of Darkness and I can't really recommend it in any capacity.
Bottom Line: 3.6 out of 10. It had some entertaining moments, but that's all your going to get out of it. The acting really isn't horrific, Ben Walker is a decent Lincoln, you'll recognize some of the other actors, but don't see this fucking thing.
