Summary
Based on Seth Grahame-Smith's novel, this alternate-history horror reimagines the sixteenth president's life as a secret war against vampires. After losing his mother to a supernatural attack, young Abraham Lincoln is trained as an axe-wielding hunter and discovers that vampires are entrenched in the Southern slave trade, setting the stage for a clandestine battle that runs alongside the Civil War.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a 2012 action, fantasy and horror film.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 13,058 2010s films, not against the whole corpus. 377 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 388 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 4,937 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 377.
