As it turns out, Lincoln wields a pretty mean sickle. That’s the gist of “Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies” — a fun, gory, low-budget, Savannah-made, direct-to-video film from The Asylum.

For Savannah’s community of filmmaking professions, “Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies” is a serious kind of fun.

Before a special screening of the film a few days ago at the Telfair’s Jepson Center for the Arts, Jay Self of the Savannah Film Commission noted the importance of the project. Director Richard Schenkman was brought in for the project, but the vast majority of the crew was local.

Those folks made a little money and gained some important experience. The film “represents something very important about what is happening in Savannah now,” Self told the audience. “It may not have been a big budget film, but the payoff could be huge.” A film like this one only works if there’s plenty of humor, plus variations in cartoonish violence. It’s not enough just to have Lincoln, played with warm understatement by Bill Oberst, periodically burst into a twirling ninja hacking away at the undead. So the script is peppered with delightful absurdities, as Lincoln confronts a famous Confederate general, gives sage advice to a future president, provides career counseling for a young Pat Garrett and meets up with an oldflame, now a madam at a brothel. Despite all this, the 90-minute film has a few slow moments andsome scenes where the continuitymakes no sense at all. But there are also some moments of real suspense. The film has been shot with the colors partially desaturated, so the copious blood is more brown than red. And there sure aren’t any sigh-inducing shots of Savannah’s greenness and beauty. But the film is a nice reminder to keep yard tools sharp in preparation for the zombie apocalypse. “Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies” is now available from Redbox, Netflix, Amazon and other outlets.

After a brief scene depicting the circumstances of Lincoln’s birth in 1809, we find him at the age of twenty-two, “the ugliest and smartest man in New Salem, Ill.” and a clerk in D. Offut’s general store. In the spring of 1834, Abe is courting Ann Rutledge when she dies abruptly of fever, causing him great suffering. After three years of fighting in the Indian war as Captain of Volunteers, Abe begins his law practice. At a ball given by former governor Edwards, the awkward lawyer meets Mary Todd and later, despite misgivings, marries her. His reputation as a debater wins him the Republican nomination to the presidency, and he is elected. John Brown and the Abolitionists capture the armory at Harper’s Ferry, and John Wilkes Booth, a fanatic exhorter, cries out for volunteers to avenge the act; thus the Civil War is launched. Following hostilities at Fort Sumter and Bull Run, Washington itself is threatened. Lincoln makes a personal visit to a battlefield and comes upon a court-martial in progress; he asks the defendant to explain his actions, pardons him, and orders him back to his regiment. The signing of the Emancipation Proclamation intensifies the struggle, and Lincoln is encouraged by Congress to end the war. Lincoln selects Grant to lead Union forces. While conferring with Stanton, the President receives word of Sheridan’s defeat; he tells Stanton of his vision of a ship with white sails before each victory. … The last of the Confederate forces under Lee are defeated, and the war is over. On the night of 14 Apr 1865, Lincoln speaks from a box at Ford’s Theatre, and just after the play has begun, he is shot by John Wilkes Booth; the resulting uproar gives way to the sobbing of an unseen multitude, and a voice calls out: “Now he belongs to the ages.” 

After the death of his 11-year-old son William, Lincoln and his wife were devastated. They desperately wanted to talk, see him again. It is believed that after their son’s passing, the Lincolns started to talk to mediums, psychics and spiritual believers because they wanted to contact their son. Several séances were conducted in the White House, and it’s believed that Lincoln was obsessed with the idea that his son’s spirit was inside the White House. It is also said that the mediums made contact with the other side—the piano started to move on its own and they heard the laugh of a little boy. Others said that Lincoln invited mediums to the White House because he wanted the spirits to give him insights and advice on future wars and problems with the nation.

It is easy to ask that almighty question that possibly every human in this world has asked at some point or the other: where was God when all of this happened? If He was indeed all knowing and all-powerful, how could He sit by and watch all these happen? If He ‘claims’ to love everybody like the Bible claims He does, then where is that love when folks start dropping like flies in the onslaught of progressing evil; when little children are gunned down on the streets by total maniacs; or when well-meaning advocates for truth, love, and justice are cheated by the system or the very people they are trying to fight for, and taken to the cleaners, their homes, families, businesses, and other means of livelihood not spared in the eroding blitz?

Perhaps, in fact, there may never be a surefire or definitive response to the issue it raises, but there are a lot of thoughts on the matter. This is to get us thinking: on my next article, I will offer deep thoughts on the subject and hope that they help individuals in some way or the other to find peace that may have been lacking since the loss of someone or something dear to something inexplicable. Answers and suggestions will be helpful, however, as they will lend a hand in guiding the tone and direction of the sequel to this piece…

Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.

I have gotten a lot more attention than…other women that I find incredibly beautiful. And this has happened to me ever since I was a girl, when I was flat, had no teeth, was skinny and small as I could be. I always got more attention than anyone else. If I hadn’t, I would have made sure I did.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.” – Roy Croft

yolo quotes – People often say that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder,’ and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.

“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” – Dr. Seuss

To be always fortunate, and to pass through life with a soul that has never known sorrow, is to be ignorant of one half of nature.

Yolo meaning and quotes –  Forget about the fast lane. If you really want to fly, harness your power to your passion. Honor your calling. Everybody has one. Trust your heart, and success will come to you.

“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.” – W. M. Lewis
