The premise

President Lincoln's mother is killed by a supernatural creature, which fuels his passion to crush vampires and their slave-owning helpers.

Horror Vault's take

What if America's most iconic president led a secret double life as a ruthless vampire slayer? This high-octane historical fantasy reimagines Abraham Lincoln's rise to power as driven not just by politics, but by a deeply personal vendetta against the undead. Blending 19th-century Americana with gothic monster-hunting action, the film pits Lincoln and his axe against a shadowy vampire network entangled with the darkest chapter of American history. It's a wild, stylized ride that never takes itself too seriously.
