Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (吸血鬼獵人:林肯總統) is an 2012 film. The movie stars Benjamin Walker. The supporting cast include Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Rufus Sewell. The movie is based on an 2010 novel of the same name.
Walker plays Lincoln. When Lincoln was a wee lad, he was a worker for a mill where his parents are killed by vampires. Unable to prove vampires, he grows up and finds a mentor willing to teach him the art of killing vampires. However, Lincoln still wants to change the world around him through the political system and eventually becomes president. When a vampires try to take over, Lincoln must come out of retirement and take them out!
The movie is absurd in its premise that Lincoln was any sort of vampire hunter. But it is a great concept that is embraceable since Lincoln is often ranked among the greats of US presidents. I did and I really enjoyed the movie. I'd watch it if it was on cable again.
