Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Saw it tonight with chairface.  Good fun movie with plenty of ideas for gaming - plenty of scope to move EotD to the US, pre and post the American Civil War.  Go see it if you get the chance.

I am eagerly awaiting the prequel..."GEORGE WASHINGTON-ZOMBIE SLAYER."

The TV ads for this have caused me no little amount of spluttering and laughter, although the small ACW snippets looked fun. No pictures of Nathan Bedford Forrest biting into any necks though, very disappointing.

It was an excellent movie. Lots of action, lots of "history", lots of fun. Highy recommended.

I saw this a couple days ago and enjoyed it.  A very fun movie.  If you don't mind a bit of over the top action and touch of camp then I recommend it. 
Abe is pretty amazing with that axe  :D

Dialogue could have been better, there were some lines that were far too modern, it wouldn't have taken much effort to teak it for something more appropriate for the period,  I can't really picture someone at the time retorting "and how's that working out?" ...  but it's still a good movie. 

Visuals make it worth the big screen ticket.

Very good, very silly, great resource and reference and you can't watch it without thinking, I beat a young Liam Neeson would have been great in the lead role!
