Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016)
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.

Good start, but then it gets ruined
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Once upon a time, I enjoyed zombies, but then they seemed to be everywhere, and I needed a break. Having never watched Pride and Prejudice, I liked the idea of zombies infecting this era. The costumes are great, and the effects are ok. I like that the zombies are kind of smart, so thats a nice twist. The girls all do some great butt kicking, and the story isn't too bad, what I'm assuming is stolen from the original material.
What's not to like? All the charm of Sense and Sensibility, plus zombies so the story never drags.
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 .
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
