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

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 scale

No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

This is a classic, "its so bad, it's good film". I had a few friends over for a man movie night and this seemed like a good fit. Senseless violence with poor visual effects and a touch of historical incorrectness.

The evening was more of a "mystery science theater 3000" showing of a really crappy Netflix B movie special. We had more fun hurling insults at the film than following the ridiculous plot line.

If you love fake dollar store mustache thrillers, this movie is for you.

All in all it was really fun to watch.
