Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)

Starring: Benjamin Walker, Rufus Sewell, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Dominic Cooper, Robin McLeavey, Anthony Mackie, Jimi Simpson, Erin Wasson

Director: Timur Bekmambetov


Premise:
After his mother mysteriously dies, a young Abraham Lincoln discovers a world few of vampires and makes it his true life work to kill them all.

My Take:
What was a very interesting and unique novel has been given the glossy Hollywood treatment complete with generic characters, big computer generated effects, and over the top action sequences. It's simply style over substance and if that's your thing, then great. But it's not mine.

Rating: Warning
