Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies
“He emancipated the slaves... he saved the union... and slaughtered the undead!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 56, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Abraham Lincoln interrupts presidential duties to confront the undead behind Confederate lines. Bill Oberst Jr. gives the historical mash-up more dignity than its title promises, and the script folds real figures into its fantasy. The zombie action remains visibly cheap, but this mockbuster has an unusually thoughtful lead.
