Out-BARACK of Vampires!

I just love the deconstruction of something long forgotten, something unknown, even the something cold-shouldered nowadays; the filling in of unique plots that somehow - I don't know how they do it but thank the gods for writers - work with what is given, what is factual. 

Abraham Lincoln is an enduring memory to the Americans as he ended slavery that had the country enslaved in arrogant discord for so many years. His contributions and achievements are taught in schools, displayed in museums and effigies. But of course, no wise man privy to the secrets of darkness will expose his elusive journal that as it was personal, is an element in the film that cannot be questioned nor pried because of its existing non-existence.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a bold yet successful narration of Abraham Lincoln's untapped life story. The instillation of the involvement of vampires with what we thought were accurate accounts of the 16th President of the US was a breath of fresh air. The novel by Seth-Grahame Smith must be as vicious and fascinating, because the film was of finest visual effects and stop-motion technique that meant strikingly to a story told (and at first written) brilliantly.

"A good friend once told me to always have a contingency plan."

Vampires at its truest form - they do not sparkle; weakness patterned ingeniously in the era of American warfare, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is of the people, by the people, for the people to not miss.
