History Film / AbrahamLincolnVsZombies

Despite being a particularly bad offender of AnachronismStew and a blatant ripoff of the Seth Grahame-Smithe book and movie, this movie is surprisingly not that bad as far as movies from Creator/TheAsylum go. This is likely due to the influence of director Schenkman, best known for previously making the sci-fi picture ''Film/TheManFromEarth'', as well as the performance of Bill Oberst Jr. as Lincoln.

''Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies'' is an action/horror/historical mashup made by Creator/TheAsylum, as a {{Mockbuster}} designed to cash in on the release of the film adaptation of ''Film/AbrahamLincolnVampireHunter''. It stars Bill Oberst, Jr. as UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln, who is interrupted while in the process of writing the Gettysburg Address with news of a failed attempt to take a Confederate fort. The sole survivor, who is in the process of turning into a zombie, describes how his squad was decimated by undead Union and Confederate soldiers who "ate their flesh". Knowing straightaway that zombies are the cause, Abe decides to lead a crack squad of Secret Service men to investigate the fort and take it back from the undead menace.

-->'''Abraham Lincoln''': Our recent sortie has put into stark terms the situation with which we face. We cannot remain in this place indefinitely, and simply leaving is not a possibility. What we need to do is to kill all these zombies!
-->'''Stonewall Jackson''': Zombies?! Well, that sounds like slave talk to me, sir!

!!Tropes:

* EmptyShell: [[spoiler:Abe can't bring himself to finish Mary properly]]. It doesn't end well.

* NoZombieCannibals

* RemovingTheHeadOrDestroyingTheBrain

* WeirdWest

* ZombieGait

* [[OurPResidentsAreDifferent President Action]]: Abraham Lincoln has no qualms about charging into a battle zone to take on zombies.

** He's so badass as a five year old, that he looks a lot older than five.

* WeirdWest.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Stonewall Jackson would have been dead at this point. Of course, the Secret Service was founded by Lincoln to combat counterfeiting, and was not assigned to protect the President until much later after his death. Not that the Asylum gives a crap.

** Well they're hardly GenreSavvy.

* [[spoiler: BittersweetEnding: A year after the zombie attack, Abe is infected by Mary, whom he refused to kill. Knowing that he's going to turn, he intentionally sets up his own assassination by anonymously informing John Wilkes Booth that he'll be at Ford's theater that night. However, Abe did succeed in stopping the zombies from spreading, thus saving the planet from a global epidemic]].
