A president who kicks butt. If only the debates featured this man. Abraham Lincoln is reinvented as a vampire-killing president. “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” author Seth Grahame-Smith adapted his own book for 20th Century Fox.

The film follows Lincoln who as a boy lives with his parents on a plantation. His mother Nancy is killed by the plantation overseer, Barts, ­ who, unknown to Lincoln, is a vampire. Lincoln attacks the man nine years later and is almost killed, is rescued by Henry Sturgess, who teaches Lincoln to be a vampire hunter.

Years later, Lincoln marries Mary in Springfield, Illinois and begins his political career, campaigning to abolish slavery. Sturgess warns Lincoln that the slave trade keeps vampires under control, as vampires use slaves for food, and if Lincoln interferes, the vampires will retaliate. Once Lincoln is elected president and the war has begun, Confederate President Jefferson Davis convinces the south’s head vampire to deploy his gouls on the front lines, which is in his interest, as he plans to turn the United States into a nation of the undead.

Lincoln orders the confiscation of all the silverware in the area and has it melted to produce silver weapons, which can kill vampires.Confederate vampires stage a final, massive assault and are met head on by Union forces. Armed with their silver weapons, the Union soldiers destroy the vampires and win the war.
