Daily Call Sheet: Last Decade's Most Underrated Films, What 'Abe Lincoln ...
My idea of a cool Abraham Lincoln vampire movie would be one that resembles Phillip Borsos’ The Grey Fox — a movie that looks, feels and behaves like it’s actually happening in the 19th Century — but with 19th Century vampires (i.e., ones that are trying to blend into society by concealing their nature whenever possible) running around.
Jeff Wells is exactly right. The way to do this would’ve been to bring the vampires into Lincoln’s reality, not to bring Lincoln into same, dull, played out CGI’s hyper-reality we’ve seen before.
Richard Farnsworth, “The Grey Fox,” — yes! After bringing the country together with the end of the Civil War, Lincoln fakes his own death to hunt the vampires he discovered were real while president. Now he’s older, running out of time, watching Reconstruction fail…
Someone should write that, and to avoid copyright issues, use Ulysses Grant.
In other news, Jeff Wells isn’t wrong about everything.

WHY ARE FOUND FOOTAGE MOVIES SO POPULAR?
Not to dismiss the article, which is interesting, but the bottom line is that these films deliver. “Paranormal 1-3″ are scary as hell. “Blair Witch” and “The Last Exorcist” are scary as hell. When films make a promise and keep it, they make money.
