Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter (2012)

Abraham Lincoln grows up to resemble a young Liam Neeson, which turns out to be very distracting.  When he was a boy, he saw his mother killed by a man named Barts. Now that he's older he vows revenge on his mothers killer. But there's one thing young Abe doesn't know - Barts is a vampire.

When his plan to kill Barts ends badly,  a stranger named Henry jumps in to save the day.  He's willing train Abe to fight vampires, but Abe must forget about revenge on Barts. Abe agrees, even though he plans on getting revenge later.

When his training is complete - his weapon of choice is, of course, an axe - Abe heads to Springfield to await instructions from Henry and study law. There he meets Mary Todd and against Henry's advice to never get close to anyone lest the vampires target that person, Abe falls for Mary.

As his nightly vampire hunting is going on, Abe also beings to pursue a political career with an agenda to free the slaves.  Henry advises that since the slaves are food for the vampires this is a bad idea.  If Abe frees the slaves, then the vampires will look for other sources of sustenance. Damn them all hell!  So basically the Civil War was really a bunch of Southern vampires fighting the humans in the North for their food supply.

The worst thing about this movie is that some idiot high school kid is going to use it in a school report because they can't tell historical fact from a fictional movie.  I was disappointed that they didn't have a scene in the theater where John Wilkes Booth turned out to be a vampire. And why didn't Abe and the Northern vampire hunters wear silver necklaces or neck guards, or put silver stitching into their clothes? They know they're fighting vampires and silver will protect them, but no, no silver for them.

Love the idea of this, but it just wasn't that great.
