Wonderful character development!
Just perfect...
I wanted to but couldn't!
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
During the American Civil War, Abraham Lincoln (Bill Oberst Jr.) realizes that there are zombies in the Confederate army and he organizes a small group of agents from the Secret Service to take over a fort in Savannah from the enemy to fight against the undead. He has to face not only the walking dead, but also Confederate soldiers, a traitor and his former love Mary Owens (Baby Norman). I saw the IMDb rating of "Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies" and decided to watch this flick; therefore that is my fault. I was expecting to see a funny trash, but I found an awfully boring movie with no story, dreadful acting and cheap CGI. The lead actor is terrible and it might be sad and offensive for the American viewers to see the use the name of American personalities in such lame movie. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): Not Available
Useful for the zombie lovers of all ages. I took my seven year old sister and she adored the actors in the familiar Savannah area where we live! Definitely good for the faint of heart zombie fans! There are some things to be noted: 1) Directors did a good job in keeping this focused not on the gore, but on some history as well(such as Lincoln, Booth, etc.)2) Make-up is extraordinary on the zombies, such as the blood 3) FINALLY a movie with no cussing I enjoyed the film, so will the other viewers who are crazy for history and historic people/places!ONE MORE NOTE: Did I mention this takes place at Fort Pulaski National Monument???
Let me just say that the movie isn't good, its not even close to good.I have seen Asylum Films before, I've seen Alien Vs Avatar (1/10) and Nazis At The Center Of The Earth (2/10). And that being said i didn't have much expectations for Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies, but i was surprised!I mean how can you not enjoy a movie where ABRAHAM LINCOLN CHOPS ZOMBIES HEADS OFF WITH AN SICKLE? Also it was technically much more advanced than the other Asylum Films, for example there actually was color correction and even decent green screens. Also acting wasn't even decent(Guy playing Lincoln was close to decent)but it was an improvement from previous Asylum Films. I Admit that the second half was a bit boring, but i liked the film for what it is...Acting: 4/10 Effects: 5/10 Action: 5/10 Story: 3/10 Overall an 5/10
If you are familiar with The Asylum, you will know that a vast majority of the time that what you are about to watch isn't going to be a good movie. The good news is though that Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies is far from their worst movie and not bad enough to be down there as one of them. Bill Oberst's performance is good, the photography, sets and costumes help to make Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies one of the better-looking(even professional) Asylum movies and the ending does evoke some chills. The bad news is that while there are worse from The Asylum, Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies is a long way from a good movie. The music is very repetitive, most of the time quite one-note, and the CGI, beards and make-up are incredibly artificial-looking, at no point did I properly feel I was there in the moment. The dialogue is stilted, and while somewhat entertaining in their cheesiness at first the butchering of literary and historical quotes got tiresome and embarrassing at the end of the day. The story is paced turgidly, there is no atmosphere from a suspense or authentic historical point of view, and there is little interesting or entertaining if you exclude the lack of quality with the beards and for the zombies(who weren't scary or amusing at all). The characters are not ones to be emotionally invested in, and you learn little if anything about them. It was nice to see the historical figures but at the same time they seemed thrown in and there for no reason other than the movie to screw around with the history. Apart from Oberst, the acting is all over the map, an uneasy mix of unbearable blandness and over-compensating. In conclusion, pretty bad but there are worse from The Asylum and also worse movies in general. 3/10 Bethany Cox
