Most of the time, when you see a film, after you’ve read the book, you feel let down. The movie usually pales in comparison to the novel.
I am happy to report this isn’t the case with ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’
The film, shot in 3D and directed by Timur Bekmambetov (I’ve never heard of him either) is entertaining, exciting, clever and total fun.
We meet Abe Lincoln as a boy…a happy carefree boy, until one dark and stormy night, his mother is bitten by a vampire and dies. Years later, the same fate takes his dad.
Lincoln is pissed…All he wants his vengence…Translation: To kill every single vampire on planet earth…give or take one or two.
Now this proves problematic, since vampires are stronger, and faster than us humans…Plus they can fly, as well as disappear, which makes them really, really difficult to destroy.
