A zombie outbreak has fallen upon the land in this reimagining of Jane Austen's classic tale of the tangled relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England. Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is a master of martial arts and weaponry and the handsome Mr. Darcy is a fierce zombie killer, yet the epitome of upper class prejudice. As the zombie outbreak intensifies, they must swallow their pride and join forces on the blood-soaked battlefield in order to conquer the undead once and for all.

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Páiric O'Corráin Pride And Prejudice And Zombies: Good take on the old classic with added titbits. Not just Zombies but a Zombie plot to conquer the UK if not the World. A Zombie Aristocracy, smarter than the average revenants are behind this with a mysterious leader.The Bennett sister are ass-kicking Zombie killers as is Mr Darcy, who as Colonel Darcy leads the fight against the undead. Great fun seeing Mrs Featherstone's Whist Party being overrun by Zombies. 7/10.
jeanlesley I was amazed at the critical reviews I had read about this film as I thought it was the most romantic version of Pride and Prejudice I had seen and that the fighting and the zombies made it great fun to watch .In fact I who loved Colin ,tolerated Matthew and laughed at Lost In Austen thought Sam Riley was the best ever Darcy and Lily James equally the best ever Elizabeth and this was the most entertaining film I had seen this year and I saw it on TV ,which doesn't say much for new ones .
Michael Ledo The title pretty much says it all. The Bennet girls have been instructed in the orient in various martial arts, and when sisters fight, well, you get the picture. The film was more drama and romance than simple zombie fighting. Men propose at the drop of a hat.This production follows in a series of zombie films based on novels, "My Fair Zombie", "Warm Bodies" ("Romeo and Juliet"), that Asylum "Sleeping Beauty" thing, and "Twilight" with Kristen Stewart. Clearly this Zombie film had a serious budget. The movie followed the novel rather well (minus that one thing) as Lily James turned in an excellent performance unaccustomed to "B" movies.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity
elliest_5 Having seen many of the old - and slightly tired - screen adaptations of Jane Austen's book, I had been longing for a looser adaptation that would breathe new life into the story and would reflect a more modern representation of what counts as a strong female protagonist. Although I wasn't expecting a zombie parody to fully satisfy this need, I watched this film expecting a nice blend of comedy-romance-female badassery.P&P&Z can indeed be credited with some achievements (and even dare-I-say improvements to the original dynamics of the plot): the female characters are also warriors, there is an external motivator to the plot, other than the dull issue of who is going to marry whom, there is action and there is even the potential of well-justified character development and motivation for the two central characters (e.g. there's no much to justify the moodiness of Mr Darcy in the original, other than his minor family troubles, whereas in this one he is a seasoned zombie hunter who has seen and lived through a lot) The problem is that the film (sticking to the P&P&Z book, I presume, which is a parodic exercise) decides to keep whole chunks of P&P intact, retaining the original text and feel, despite the zombie apocalypse that's added into the equation. With that, it feels that we're basically watching two films at once, switching between the two every now and then. The parts that integrate both concepts organically are very few, while at times the mixture between the two elements is done unsuccessfully, resulting in caricature.I think the film should have taken itself more seriously, despite the ridiculousness of the premise, because it did have potential. If the P&P affiliation had been looser and the zombie apocalypse scenario had worked out as the main story-line, then we could have had a great movie.I still liked the comedic feel though - Parson Collins (Matt Smith) in particular was great.
