ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER (2012)

TIMUR BEKMAMBETOV

Plot

From visionary filmmakers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) comes this visceral, satisfying thriller based on Seth Grahame-Smith’s best seller. Benjamin Walker turns in a killer performance as Abraham Lincoln, who must risk the presidency, his family and his life to protect America from bloodthirsty vampires. Led by the diabolical Adam (Rufus Sewell), the vicious creatures plot to create a nation of their own. Thrust into an epic fight against the hideous undead killers, Lincoln must rely on those around him. But it’s unclear who he can trust...Unlike other novelty, high-concept films of recent years this lifts itself above and beyond their reach. Think more V For Vendetta than Iron Sky or Snakes on a Plane. Unlike V... it has more wit and less pretension. Basically, it's fun fun fun!
