If there existed an Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a B-Movie, this year’s winner would easily be Bill Oberst, Jr., for his outstanding portrayal of our 16th President in a motion picture entitled Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies. It is certainly the closest thing to an award caliber performance you’ll probably ever see in a movie produced by The Asylum. You could never tell Bill Oberst, Jr., was even aware he was starring in a silly mockbuster of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunterjudging by the soulful sincerity he imbues his portrayal of Lincoln with. Oberst plays him with the same degree of gravitas he would if he were starring in a stage production of Abe Lincoln in Illinois, even during moments when he’s yelling “Emancipate this!” before decapitating a zombie with his trusty scythe.
