It is a performances centric movie

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

LOLWTF. How do these movies get funding?I was curious about what high, and completely insane producer paid for this rubbish but Box Office Mojo has no record of this film. Did this waste-of-everything get the green-light as a joke that maybe went too far? Was it even supposed to be released publicly? Was this a Production Co's Staff Christmas Party gag video making fun of the other more esteemed "Lincoln" production being shot elsewhere in the tmz that week? Were the producer's playing beer-pong one night and the guy who lost had to fund this movie? Or, maybe when this was pitched to them, the producers believed they were funding Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter? Or Lincoln with Daniel Day Lewis? Well, I guess Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies was straight to video, but even then…who paid for the DVD replication? Do you know how many homeless and brilliant directors living on Hollywood Blvd that money could have fed for a month?I borrowed my DVD copy from the library, and I'm returning my library membership with the movie!99% of the IMDb members could have done a better job with 1/2 the funding this movie got. Was this like an 8th grade school project made with a donated iPhone (at least the aspect ratio is good-ish)? Maybe they went over budget on the fake blood, there sure is a lot of it (blood, not budget) and had to cut corners to finish the last 10 days of shooting with $136 and a Wal-mart gift card (for fake blood).I think Carmel-by-the-Sea, California's Friday Night Seniors Mystery Theater Dinner Night at the Greener Pastures Retirement Village could have done a better job acting this horrible script. Did I manage to insult everyone yet? Is Clint Eastwood still mayor in Carmel? Sorry, I'm not focusing. This is what happens when I see horrible, awful, no good, very bad movies. My 2 rating is too high, now that I think of it.The director, Richard Schtinkman, oops, Schenkman, dude don't quite your day job. Unless this is your day job and only income. Uhh, just checked out your resume, sorry bud. I guess everyone needs to make a living. Gotta love Hollywood! Hey, give your sound guy a kick in the pants, the location sound sucks! I understand you couldn't mic everyone in the only blocked shot (a static wide shot) you let role for entire scene(s), but…awe never mind. Worst. Movie. Ever.Can you imagine, some poor old sap is going to be testing out the new movie-on-demand service at Greener Pastures Retirement Village hoping to watch Spielberg's Lincoln and ends up getting Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies. Heh! Classic!Oh, BTW, I know Zombies (I got a few chained up in the basement...well I think they're zombies anyway) and Zombies don't stop and think and contemplate what people are telling them. Like seriously, you actually thought that would work in your script?Zombies are remorseless, brain eating machines with no feeling! Hello? Walking Dead, Night of the Living Dead, et al. Argh, if George A. Romero were here right now it would not be fun, let me tell you (if you could see me, you'd notice I'm shaking my fist in the air at you people).

I represent a sizable minority of motion picture viewers - until "Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies" I had never seen a zombie movie. I had caught the unavoidable snippets on television but that was all. It looked disgusting to me. It still does, but when a good friend loaned me "Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies" because of my odd interest in 19th century Noth American history I decided to watch it. This 'alternatative history' treatment of events is actually rather good and would have been better without the zombie gore but then it would have been a different movie. If I discount my disgust with zombies there was much to admire in this film. The actor playing Lincoln did an excellent job. The role of General Jackson caught the man's character and, while his death in our time line was sad in the movie's it was a credit the that devout Christian man. The surprising ending was quite superb but what most struck me was the unobtrusive and lovely music in the background. Of course the movie is flawed by it's low budget but it is far better than many more costly productions.

This was one of the first recommendations I got from the Cinema Snob website based on his review of the film and his interview with Bill Oberst Jr. I wasn't expecting much since its an asylum film, but I honestly enjoyed it. I found myself drawn to some of the characters being portrayed and Bill Oberst did an excellent job as Abraham Lincoln and its a completely serviceable zombie film. Of course it has its problems. The CGI effects are incredibly cheap looking (duh, its The Asylum, get over it) and the plot is fairly simplistic. Its basically a standard zombie film which includes historical figures. If you can overlook that, then you should be able to enjoy the film without much difficulty.

Here we have it again, The Asylum ripping off another blockbuster. This time Abraham Lincoln: Vampire hunter (2012). And by now you all know what you can expect from The Asylum. Most of their flicks are full of cheap CGI and bad acting.This is no exception. Some can act and Abraham Lincoln (Bill Oberst Jr.) was believable but others just couldn't act and them wearing fake beards didn't make it much better. The zombies looked rather good but still were missing a few things, their clothes were all nicely cleaned. But their faces were okay. Still, there aren't that many zombies to see, only towards the end we do have a horde involving children. When the zombies are being killed it doesn't become gory. The blood and beheadings are done CGI wise, and some CGI is really awful. When zombies are attacking people and getting them to the ground nothing is shown like in those good old zombie flicks. No tearing apart of corpses, no intestines being eaten. Of course being a low budget it all takes place in one place a so-called fort. Inside there was a lot of talking which didn't add towards the suspense. The end you could see it coming from miles away. Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
