Why it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and a lukewarm 38% audience score, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for zombie fans and politics junkies. The undead are the backdrop; how people treat each other is the real story. Liked Grindhouse or 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple? This is a good next one. Power and ambition drive every scene.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
As Abraham Lincoln labors over the Gettysburg address, the importance of which he is fully aware, he learns that a menace from his past has returned, threatening to tear the already fractured nation to pieces. He must journey behind enemy lines to face an foe far more fearsome than the Confederate army: the walking dead.
