Opening June 22, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is an unusual summer offering in that it features neither big stars nor source material that’s widely known throughout the culture. (The film is based on Seth Grahame-Smith’s 2010 novel, which did appear on The New York Times’ Best Sellers list for fiction.) Still, the juxtaposition of history and horror in the title might intrigue audiences, although it’s an open question how much overseas interest there will be in a rewrite of Lincoln’s story. Told in flashback,

Abraham Lincoln reveals how a young Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) began cultivating a secret life, unknown by historians, as a vampire killer tutored by mentor and friend Henry Sturges (Dominic Cooper). Vowing to kill a bloodsucker named Adam (Rufus Sewell) who killed his mother in front of him, Lincoln grows up to become a lawyer and then eventually president. All the while, though, he holds a grudge against Adam, who is hoping that the forthcoming Civil War will help pave the way for vampires to take over America.

Adapted by Grahame-Smith, who also wrote the screenplay for this summer’s Dark Shadows, Abraham Lincoln is very much like Bekmambetov’s Wanted and Night Watch/Day Watch films in that it’s endlessly visual stylish but more than a little hollow dramatically. Nonetheless, Abraham Lincoln is one of those rare cases when the excesses and artificiality build so gloriously that the film’s clear

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” is such a smashing title it’s too bad someone had to spoil things by making a movie to go with it. Then again, a big-screen version of Seth Grahame-Smith’s comic novel was doubtless inevitable, given the delectable absurdity of the 16th president of the United States’ going all Buffy on a vamp army, splitting heads like rails. That sounds funny, and for a while it plays like head-exploding gangbusters on screen, particularly when the young Mr. Lincoln (a solid Benjamin Walker), in his grasshopper stage, begins learning how to swing a silver-tipped ax like a kung fu master. (As the great man said: “Whatever you are, be a good one.”)

Silver used to seem reserved for slaying werewolves, but these days anything goes when it comes to monsters. The newfangled vampires in “Abraham Lincoln” are largely felled with silver-tipped blades and, like the dead beauties in the “Twilight” movies (and the original “Dracula”), they also move about during the day. What really distinguishes them, though, is less their sun screen than a monstrosity that isn’t simply a matter of myth or the metaphysical anguish that can trouble a modern vampire. Rather, theirs is a historical evil: These vampires are white Southerners whose cause is the enslavement of human beings and not states’ rights. There’s no denying their villainy, a welcome alternative to those real-world celebrations that whitewash the period by ignoring slavery.

Written by Mr. Grahame-Smith, the movie opens in 1820 with Abraham as a young boy proving his moral mettle by protecting another child, a black friend, Will (Anthony Mackie takes over the thankless adult role), from a slaver’s whip. The slaver is Jack Barts (Marton Csokas), who takes his revenge on Abraham by lethally nibbling Abe’s mother, Nancy. She’s soon out of the picture, as is his father. This clears the way for the orphan’s revenge, a life mission that, by the time Lincoln is tall enough to skim ceilings, has transformed him into a warrior whose skills are more 20th century than 19th, more reminiscent of the slow-motion cool of early Wachowski brothers than the slow-literature adventures of the earlier era.

Nosed along by excerpts from Abraham’s purported journals about his slayer adventures, the story zips from Lincoln’s childhood to young adulthood, where, after a botched vampire hunt, he meets an agreeable enigma, Henry Sturgess (Dominic Cooper). Henry teaches Abraham the Way of the Vampire Kill, an extended, enjoyable lesson that allows the performers to engage with each other rather than serving as props, like most of the actors here. Once Henry leaves the scene, the movie quickly deflates, both because Mr. Cooper isn’t around to fan your interest and because the story’s fealty to its pulpy version of history (Mary Todd, etc.) drags it down. Once Abraham grows a beard, laying down his ax to take up politics, the movie is effectively over, if not done. And the Civil War has scarcely begun

flaws start to seem like little more than adorable quirks. Indicative of the movie’s ambitions, one of its finest moments involves a giddily preposterous chase sequence between Lincoln and one of his foes in the midst of a dangerous horse stampede, which requires the two characters to leap from horse to horse to pursue one another. It’s a sequence that could only happen thanks to the wonders of CGI — Bekmambetov doesn’t even bother trying to make the action conform to the laws of science — and yet the sheer audacity of the set piece’s absurdity is in keeping with the film’s earnestly overdramatic, hyper-violent style. A movie this adrenalised needs some sort of emotional anchor, and Walker provides that with his understated turn as Lincoln. Playing the president first as a young man and then as the weary 50-something leader of the Union during the Civil War, Walker acquits himself nicely with both the old-age makeup and Grahame-Smith’s occasionally ham-fisted dialogue.

Abraham Lincoln never quite reconciles its bloody, glib action sequences with its more sombre moments of character drama — Bekmambetov can stage explosive slow-motion excitement, but he can’t make people talking interesting — but Walker’s charismatic presence serves as a constant in this uneven film. Understandably, there will be those who object to the film’s blatant desecration of one of the most critical and painful chapters in American history. (Transforming real-life abolitionist Harriet Tubman into a mere supporting player in Lincoln’s vampire battle is but one of the film’s

cheeky dismissals of the real scourge of slavery.) But to be fair, from its first frames Abraham Lincoln exists in an exaggerated, wholly invented past that never pretends to be a faithful retelling. Expecting accuracy or historical reverence from this slick pop entertainment is a sure path to easy aggravation. For a movie filled with such histrionic action scenes and questionable factual content, Abraham Lincoln benefits greatly from some ace supporting performances. Anthony Mackie has been far better in everything from The Hurt Locker to Night Catches Us, but here as Lincoln’s oldest friend,

he exudes a cocky charm and casual gravitas that help add soulfulness to Bekmambetov’s restless visual flow. Likewise, Dominic Cooper imbues the proceedings with a suave self-assurance as Lincoln’s smug mentor, and Rufus Sewell is all smarmy menace as our hero’s nemesis. (Playing Lincoln’s wife Mary Todd, Mary Elizabeth Winstead unfortunately is saddled with the script’s dullest bits of business.) All told, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is well-made junk food — something you wouldn’t want to subsist on, but perfectly acceptable from time to time.
