President's Day is a 2010 comedy horror film directed by Chris LaMartina.[1] The film follows a group of high school students being hunted by a madman in an Abraham Lincoln disguise. The film had a limited release on Presidents' Day in 2010 and was released to DVD on April 9 of the same year.[2]

Plot

Campaign season arrives at Lincoln High, causing the students to begin buzzing about who will be elected as class president. However, a psychopath dressed as Abraham Lincoln begins to terrorize the school, using a misshapen mask and an axe. The candidates then have to forget about the election and then join together to survive the killer's attacks.

Reception

Bloody Disgusting gave President's Day four skulls and wrote that it was "a quantum leap forward for a fledgling filmmaker who has proven over the last 4-years that he’s more than capable making quality films for less."[3] The Baltimore City Paper also praised the movie, which they called "a fun, wickedly entertaining slasher romp".[4]
