Episode 187: Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies

Send us Fan MailRememeber Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter?  Ben Walker, Anthony Mackie, May Elizabeth Winstead, Dominic Cooper, Rufus Sewell, Jimmi SImpsom…. 2012 5.9 on IMDB 34% on RT? Well, this isn't that.Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombie also 2012 but that is the only thing in common, starring…. Well nobody. Horror movie stalwart Bill Oberst from circus of the dead, werewolf risin, painkiller, scary or die, a haunting in same, dismal, valley of the saquatch, ditch day massacre, Krampus and nude nuns with big guns (seriously) as Abraham Lincoln 3.2 on IMDB 22% on RT Produced by Asylum and release direct to video. Apparently it is a Mockbuster of the proper Vampire movie by 20th Century Fox. So jumping on the Vampire hunter marketing coattails. Looking at the reviews. Jason Adams said it was extremely repetitive, with a script full of terrible lines. Other than Oberst the actors pretty much suck post colonial wastewater.Dread Central said Oberst was good but overly written scenes, wildly uneven pacing and confusingly staged scenes prevented it from living up to its potential. Connect Savannah said it was terrible.Starburst said it was sluggishly directed from a weak script.Everyone praised Oberst.Even with the adding of Stonewall Jackson, Pat Garrett and Teddy Roosevelt, in the end, unlike Exit Humanity that has Brian Cox, Bill Moseley ,Stephen McHattie and Dee Wallace it doesn’t work. The reviewers were right. Oberst was the only thing that worked. He gave a decent performance as Abe. Everyone else was average at best. The effects were poor. The constant speeches, the repetitive standing around, speech, then running about to orchestral music, then standing around got to much. It was haphazard in its timing.3.5/10
