    Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

    Except it isn’t made up, and it’s a phenomenal movie.

      Is it a continuation of Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter? (Also not made up, but this one is actually bad)

        No but that movie actually sounds interesting enough to look at.

        Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was based on a book of the same name, released in 2012, and actually had a hollywood-level budget.

          FDR - American Badass is a pretty good movie as well as long as you go in without super high expectations.

        The only thing I remember from this movie are the crazy segways. I don’t even remember them just that they were memorable.

      Even the 3D was good. I’m still amazed by this:

      In the images for the left and right eye, they gave the vampires slightly different pupil colours. That means when you watch it in 3D, the eyes of the vampires kind of shimmer ominously. It works great because it’s only such a small detail. A larger area would be unpleasant to watch.

      I’ve never seen another movie doing something innovative like that with 3D.

      Edit: Here I found an example that can be viewed via crossy-eye method.

      Excellent choice. The dubbed version, done of course by first year theater actors, would make it even worse.

      Holy shit! I’d pay to watch that.

      edit: For the record, I would watch this, because it would cover the history of the Catholic Church’s pedophilia ring and systematical legal issue dodging. Not for the pedophilia. That is all NSA.

      Also, there is a true story movie about how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation and cover-up, called Spotlight.

      An alarming number of people would say that this film renewed their faith in god. Granted, not enough people to prevent this film from being a net loss for the producers, but still. Yikes.
