I enjoy this film very much it is never boring and even if it has some cliches it is still a good action film

As a young boy, Abraham Lincoln loses his mother to an unknown disease which later proves to be the work of a vampire. Trained by a new close friend Henry, with a story of his own regarding vampires, Abe becomes a legend in eliminating the undead but he eventually marries and retires from this gruesome hobby. Time passes but Abraham, who's become president, is not allowed to rest as the leader of vampires prepares a devastating war in order to take over America. Together with his friends and helped by his experience, Abe must once again save the situation which is in need of a savior.It's an interesting action-horror movie which "creates" a different version of the history of Abraham Lincoln, posing him as a vampire hunter with a silver axe as his weapon. It features impressive slow- motion undead kills with great moves through eye-taking computer generated imagery. Its story unfortunately isn't on par with its good parts as it is linear and predictable most of the time. Its characters aren't very complex either but they are well played by their actors. It looks good and it is pretty enjoyable, if you're able to withstand the horror part. I certainly did so I ended up seeing a good film.

First, let me say that we shouldn't be wasting our time with this sort of thing. Things are bad enough without having a generation whose first thought of Abraham Lincoln will be as a kung fu fighting vampire killer. This is all bought to you by the same type of people who run Ancient Aliens night and day on what's supposed to be the History Channel. It's bad for us.That being said, if you take away the CGI super-action, they do create a pretty good representation of the pre-war and Civil War era. Benjamin Walker is actually pretty convincing as Lincoln, especially considering all the silly stuff he has to do. The rest of the top line cast is good as well. So, despite all the problems with this whole thing, I was able to find things I liked in this movie. The ongoing discussion of slavery throughout the movie is taken on decently, almost making me wish that they could inject some more real history into this subject matter. See this movie if you're interested, but don't expect more than the usual big time CGI action adventure that will most likely leave you cold when it's over.

In the documentaries "Lincoln: Trial by Fire" and "Lincoln's Last Night", and the movie "Abraham Lincoln" starring Walter Huston (in the five documentary collection by Mill Creek Entertainment), there is plenty of "tightly corseted" historical accuracy.Too often in historical films, Lincoln has been portrayed as a stiff-backed academic.In "Vampire Hunter", it can be said that the historical personages are portrayed in a much more human (pardon the pun) vein.Enjoy the twist on history. Enjoy "Hunter" as a really "fun", somewhat historically accurate horror movie. Good night. Pleasant dreams! Or, to phrase it classically:"We are such stuff as dreams are made of, and our little life is rounded with a sleep." -- Shakespeare, "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
