At the age of 9, Abraham Lincoln witnesses his mother being killed by a
vampire, Jack Barts. Some 10 years later, he unsuccessfully tries to
eliminate Barts but in the process makes the acquaintance of Henry
Sturgess who teaches him how to fight and what is required to kill a
vampire. The quid pro quo is that Abe will kill only those vampires that
Henry directs him to. Abe relocates to Springfield where he gets a job
as a store clerk while he studies the law and kills vampires by night.
He also meets and eventually marries the pretty Mary Todd. Many years
later as President of the United States, he comes to realize that
vampires are fighting with the Confederate forces. As a result he mounts
his own campaign to defeat them. Written by

Movie Reviews
I didn't have high
expectations of this film due solely to it's title. How wrong I was!
This is a popcorn movie of the best sort. Ridiculously over the top but
in a very entertaining way.
The action doesn't stop from the get go and there's a narrative that runs through the whole movie that keeps you interested.
The SFX are impressive too.
Performances are good, particularly Rufus Sewell who plays a very good villain. "Rufus Sewell" that's got to be a made up name. It's too cool to be a real name.
One of the better vampire films in recent years.
