This movie has tweaked the Story of the 16th president of the United States of America, Abraham Lincoln (Benjamin Walker). They have very smartly included vampires in the story. Young Abraham had seen his mother being slain by a vampire. That day he swore revenge. Help came in handy when a vampire named Henry Sturges (Dominic Cooper) trained him on how to kill vampires. The age old weakness of vampires is the same,silver. But with one minor change, a man once turned into a vampire,cannot kill another vampire. Only a mortal human Can. The story goes on to show the life of Mr. Lincoln,how he gets married,how skillfully kills many vampires(the way he kills the slayer of his mother is just brilliant!),gets into the parliament and finds out the diabolical plan of the vampires who aid the enemy of his country. The movie has thrilling scenes involving a fight while jumping on horses,scary scenes showing how the vampires look when they are angry. The movie is a bit short maybe, but its totally worth your penny. Don't miss this one.
