Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Action, Horror, Romance

Jane Austen's classic tale of the tangled relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England is faced with a new challenge -- an army of undead zombies.

The critical consensus

The premise promised Regency class and Romero shocks. The results, though, are only intermittently entertaining, and a better adaptation of Austen than a monster mash.

Wise-cracking Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy slash away at reanimated corpses in a bloody reworking of Jane Austen. But it’s not as much fun as it sounds.

**(*)(*)(*)Jordan Hoffman, The Guardian, 04/02/2016

For the most part a surprisingly fun, bloody take on Jane Austen’s classic – but it does turn stale as the final reckoning approaches.

Unfortunately, for the most part, it feels like the Sleepwalking Dead.

**(*)(*)(*)James Mottram, The List, 08/02/2016

It is lively and entertaining early on but once we get accustomed to its strange mix of gentility and blood-letting, the magic dissipates.

****(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 11/02/2016

This gimmicky reworking of Jane Austen’s classic uses deadpan decapitations to satire the prim costume drama but its gags are ultimately unearned.

**(*)(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 11/02/2016

Austen and the undead fail to raise laughs or shocks in a misfiring mashup.
