Abraham Lincoln Zombie Hunter: should I watch?

May 04, 2013 19:04

Yes, yes or definitely yes?

ETA: Worth it for badly cgied olden times. Also a Lincoln who resembles the actual Lincoln about as well as a large loaf of bread with a tophat.

ETA 2: THE ACTING. THE STRADDLING. There has been a perfectly magnificent straddling scene although, alas, Lincoln was not doing the straddling. But it was still impressive. And what with zombies, vampires, and the South, Lincoln really had the worst luck ever, didn't he?

ETA 3: While it was very thrifty and ecoconscious of them to make their beards out of whatever they found on the road that day, the appearance leaves something to be desired. Especially Stonewall Jackson whose beard not only screams I AM A FAKE MADE FROM SOMEONE'S FAR TOO SLOW CAT but seems to be incapable of any movement whatsoever.

ETA 4: Remember that slug that Baldrick used as a mustache in the Black Adder set in WWI? You'll be glad to know it's got more work playing Stonewall Jackson's mustache? SO WONDERFUL TO SEE GOOD WORK REWARDED.

ETA 5: There's a winsome child whose chances of being eaten are, sadly, none. And as this entire film rests upon the belief that zombies are harmless until you wake them up every scene has them creeping past zombies and THEN KNOCKING SOMETHING OVER. Or waking chickens.
