I never read the book – although I love the concept. Plus, I'm a big fan of both Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov.
Well, I have to tell you
right off, it's the weirdest, most fun film I've seen all year.
It would have been easy
to really camp it up, with the railsplitter putting on a very
tongue-in-cheek performance – wink, wink, look how ridiculous this
concept is. But, no, Timur played it straight.
Our Civil War president
found it very important to rid the South and the North of those evil
bloodsuckers.
Timur used his usual
visual pyrotechnics to keep the action scenes very eye-catching and
original, just like his very original Russian film “Night Watch”.
Now, I must read the book
to see what I missed in the film. Rush out and tell your friends to
go see “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”. You'll love it!
