Weird for a chick that doesn't like horror, right?
Anyways, I really wanted to see Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. I've been a fan of the writer who came up with the mashup novel since he did Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. Plus, Tim Burton was involved! Win-win.
This movie got slammed in reviews, and after I saw it, I had NO IDEA why. Because if you go into it without being overly serious, it's a really good time. I kind of thought it was hilarious and dark at the same time, and a well-executed film.
But seriously, critics... what's not to like about Abraham Lincoln wielding a silver-tipped ax and taking out the undead while uniting a nation? Hello. If you like some fangs and action, and you're able to laugh off the obvious historical inaccuracy, see the movie. It's fun.
And to echo what a few historians have said, something ridiculously fictional like this will lead people to want to know more about Lincoln, his wife Mary Todd, and even the Civil War... I support anything that gets people involved in history!
