Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter may be a hollow sort of entertainment, but at least it's entertainment. And that, at least, is a definite improvement on Dark Shadows.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 7, 2024

Instead of laughing at this movie, we could have been laughing with it and enjoying the experience rather than despising it. But Bekmambetov forgoes the obvious absurdity of the subject matter.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 4, 2022

Even though "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" butchers and condenses its pulpy and popular source novel, the movie is simply fun escapist entertainment and pops off of the screen like a 3D movie should.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 26, 2022

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, a film in which Abraham Lincoln hunts vampires, spends far too long believing it is something other than it clearly is.

| May 5, 2021

...so refreshingly weird and inherently watchable.

| Mar 10, 2021

The extent of the ridiculousness here cannot easily be compared or understood.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 1, 2020

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter should have been a really fun film.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 1, 2020

[The] script ironically lacks imagination and wit.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 27, 2019

Some sh*tty slo-mo action scenes. Some toothless scares.

| Original Score: 2.8/5 | Nov 11, 2019

The movie sets itself up for a sequel. The good news is that it's bad enough that we'll be spared that fate.

| Jul 31, 2019

It all sounds silly, but for the most part director Timur Bekmambetov stages it like a reenactment you'd see on the History Channel. It's all kind of proper and stuffy and rather slow and methodical.

| Original Score: C | Apr 11, 2019

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is not entirely without merit, but it comes with much mess.

| Original Score: C | Feb 1, 2019

For all its cult ambition, Bekmambetov's Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter feels like two separate movies bundled into one messy final package.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 25, 2019

It's essentially a cracked-out Wikipedia entry interrupted by bloody, slo-mo combat.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 4, 2018

Lincolns from Walter Huston to Henry Fonda to Brendan Fraser and Lance Henriksen have given us the Great Emancipator as their directors and our dreams would have him. Inaccurately. Why not throw vampires into the mix?

| Aug 30, 2018

It was the merger of that very real historical account and the fantastical vampire plot that made the book interesting, but the movie sacrificed a lot of that. Too much of that.

| Oct 23, 2017

If you ever wanted to see a vampire throw a horse at a would-be President, or see a man chop down a tree with one blow, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter will tick those boxes and more besides.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 19, 2017

Rare is a film this silly that's also this quietly clever.

| Aug 26, 2015

Somehow, you can't help but feel vampires deserve better.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 16, 2013

Rather than create an innovative style to complement the horror-history hybrid, he employs superhero clichs and hackneyed action scenes that only help distract from the ineffectiveness of the film's scant 3-D effects.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 21, 2013
