I was pleasantly surprised. The movie looks quite good and some of the actors are pretty decent. Sets and costumes are also okay, except for the zombies.
Really, the zombies look like crap and walk like hip stiff seniors on drugs. I mean, the movie is from 2012. Have you seen The Walking Dead? Zombies like in Abe Lincoln vs. Zombies are unacceptable. Period.
I watched the much enjoyable SchleFaZ version and had a really good time with the movie itself. I mean, the plot is gaga, but at least they made the effort to come up with a plot for a change.
I watched s many horrible Asylum flicks, and this is one of the better mockbusters they threw on our TV screens.

Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies (2012)
* (out of 4)
The Asylum's "mockbuster" of ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER finds Honest Abe (Bill Oberst, Jr.) having to fight some Confederate zombies. If that seems light on a plot description then you might want to stay away from this film because that's pretty much all there is. You know, many people attack companies like The Asylum for not having any fresh or original ideas of their own but I've always given them a fair shot. I mean, if we were in the 50s or 70s then the drive-in would have been playing these types of movies each and every weekend. With that said, the biggest sin any movie like this could make is to be boring and that's exactly what has happened here. I think there could have been so many interesting ideas that could have been done in regards to Lincoln going up against zombies. Just take a look at how many lives were lost in the war on Lincoln's command, a film about them coming back from revenge would be interesting. The dead from the war coming back to help win it could have been interesting. What we got here is just downright boring on a number of levels but I think the film was just too silly to be taken serious and it wasn't nearly campy enough to keep you entertained. As you'd expect, the CGI effects were all extremely cheap and the fake gore was just painful. The performances weren't too bad and while Oberst gave a good performance I'd say I still had a hard time believing he was really the president (unlike the real movie). It is funny to note that even though this came out a month before the "real" movie, this here actually featured several scenes that were quite similar so I don't know if that was just a coincidence or what. Either way, ABRAHAM LINCOLN VS. ZOMBIES is a complete bust and not worth watching even with a free rental.

OK- So having read the previews of a pretty good Abraham Lincoln zombie movie a little while ago, I was surprised to see it available on my local DVD kiosk. Perhaps it went straight to DVD? No-turns out there were TWO Abe Lincoln Zombie movies released recently. This was NOT the goo done. This is not a bad movie if you can suffer through some bad acting and some badly thought out writing. The actor playing Lincoln was OK (reminded me of Lloyd Bridges a little). The actors playing Mary Owens and Garret the reb soldier were good as well. The rest of the cast was b-movie material. The overall premise was promising, but the plot suffered faults from the start. You would think that with all the zombie movies that have been made, the writers would have taken into account some basic things that the audience knows and the characters should recognize pretty quickly (granted this movie introduces the earliest origination of zombies, but don't they all?). The characters make dumb mistakes in their plans and in executing them which kind of kill the movie.The camera work is pretty good (but the editor could have done a better job editing some of the early scenes- ie too much walking) and made it a little brisker. Overall, it wasn't a waste of time, and was enjoyable despite its faults.
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.

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

Did you know
- TriviaAn avid history buff, actor Bill Oberst Jr. agreed to take on the role of Lincoln, provided he could deliver the Gettysburg Address. Much to his excitement, he was able to do so, which he did mostly from memory, having played Lincoln multiple times on stage.
- GoofsToward the end of the movie, the South Portico of the White House is shown with the semi-circular balcony in place. That balcony was not added until the following century. President Truman had it installed during his term in office. It is still referred to as "The Truman Balcony".
- Quotes
Abraham Lincoln: [kneeling and praying] "Lord, I beseech you. Grant me wisdom, to see the way clear. Let me help these Walking Dead, find their final resting place. Help me to end their torture and misery. To show them the way to Your Eternal forgiveness. Amen."
