Michael Ledo A good pseudo-history is one that can squeeze into the known facts of history. This one pretends it does. The film opens in 1818 with young Abe having to shoot his own zombie parents. It then jumps to 1865 with news of a zombie infestation at Fort Pulaski. Abe (Kent Igleheart), while searching for the words for his Gettysburg dedication, leads a group of secret service men to the zombie infested fort. At this point the film becomes similar to "Dawn of the Dead" with the fort replacing the shopping mall.While here Lincoln meets Stonewall Jackson, poorly portrayed by Don McGraw in a cheap comically fake beard. The blood splatter was good and fell on the camera, although those scenes tended to have the color washed out and the blood was unrealistic. In one scene Lincoln is killing a bevy of zombies by swinging his reaper, although the zombies appear to be computer generated. Was that the prostitute using a hoe to kill zombies? Nice touch.This is a low budget production filmed on location in Savannah Georgia. 6 stars on the Asylum scaleNo f-bombs, sex, or nudity.
ProfessorSmashmouth I rented this to watch with my son. Direct to video, fun premise, that our nation's best president had to battle zombies. Naturally, you aren't expecting anything profoundly serious. Reading some of these reviews you wonder what are people truly expecting. We found it fun to watch, decent action, funny premise, acting was fine, special effects were fine. Obviously not a big budget movie, but it did not look too low budget. Actually worth a watch if you can watch it with a kid and have fun with it. It was a good time watching it with my 11 year old son and a good memory as we are both history buffs but now sometimes talk about how Lincoln not only saved the union and freed the slaves but also slayed vampires and zombies.
Claudio Carvalho 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
TheLittleSongbird 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
