ABRAHAM LINCOLN VS ZOMBIES

Cinemavixion Review

Richard Schenkman's "Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies" offers a B-movie romp that leans heavily into its pulpy premise. Set against the backdrop of the Civil War, the film imagines a nation not only fractured by conflict but also besieged by a supernatural plague. Bill Oberst Jr. dons the presidential mantle as Lincoln, a man haunted by personal tragedy and burdened by the dual threat of secession and the undead. The narrative posits Lincoln as a proactive leader, taking personal command against the zombie menace that threatens to overwhelm both Union and Confederate forces. While the film's budget is evident, its commitment to the concept is commendable, blending historical fiction with horror tropes. It's a low-fi spectacle that aims for campy fun, exploring an alternate history where America's greatest crisis was compounded by a zombie apocalypse. For fans of genre mashups and historical what-ifs, "Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies" delivers a unique, albeit rough-around-the-edges, cinematic experience.
