Well, I recently had the opportunity to view the film Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and to me this is a perfect film to start the Dark Horse with. This film was fun, hands down. Was it a film I would climb the nearest mountain top to scream its magnificence to the rest of the world...no. However, it's worth seeing for a fun time, especially out of RedBox (I wouldn't want to pay more then a buck for this one). One of the things that was fun about this movie was just the idea of a figure so prominent in U.S. history doing something which has been such a hot topic in cinema for so long.
Think about this, what made Cowboy's and Alien's so entertaining? For me it was seeing an alien movie not taking place in modern to future times. It seems so often that when there is an alien movie it takes place in space or in modern times, but where Cowboy's succeeded was taking a notion that aliens existed and putting them into a time period no one has ever touched on. Why wouldn't aliens be around in early America?
Now back to Lincoln killing vampires. Take the previous mentioned equation, and change aliens to vampires. When we see vampire movies they are either in modern times( Twilight, Blade, Underworld) or for the most part in very ancient times (Bram Stoker's, Nosferatu); Interview with a Vampire was similar to Lincoln's time though. The difference is that someone as Prominent as Abraham Lincoln killing vampires!!!!????? Sweet deal. Look, I'm not here saying that this movie was gold, but again worth watching.
Now this movie is a bit graphic, but Civil War vampires deserve getting their butt's kicked all up and down Gettysburg.
Final Words: watch it, eat some pretzels or chips, have a beer. Sit back and relax.
