Films in 100: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (Timur Bekmambetov, 2012)

Starring: Bejamin Walker, Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rufus Sewell.

A wise man once told me not to take myself too seriously. Unintentionally hilarious, this ridiculous concept and sincere execution leads to a joyous watch. This is a film where one gains vampire slaying abilities by by “not believing in fear, but believing in truth” and then follows Abe Lincoln as through his life from the early years to the presidency, winning the civil war by slaying the vampiric South. Incidentally, this is the last film my local cinema showed on 35mm, so will always hold a special place in my memory. How could one not have a raucous time?

3/5
