Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Parodising the 1813 novel by Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies combines the lovestory set in victorian London with zombieslaying girls...

Yeah, I agree, that seems like a mighty odd concept...

Even though the movie went to production hell, as it originally would star Nathalie Portman, it still has a rather strong cast including Matt Smith and GoT illuminati Lena Headey and Charles Dance.  It follows the original storyline of the classic novel, but adds elements of horror and zombies into it as it goes along, making for an entertaining film.

Especially since it never becomes really dark or Walking Dead like.  As London is the last remaining city in England not overrun by Zombies, the Bennet sisters are trained to fend off zombie attacks.  But as a lady in that era was required, they also have to look for good husband to marry.

During the courting with various prospects, a charming soldier named Wickham shows Elizabeth that there is a chance to coexist with zombies, but his plan is quickly put down by the survivors of the zombie wars.  This leads to tensions between Wickham and zombie killer Darcy, who share a past with each other, and when zombies start overrunning London and Lucy, one of the Bennet sisters, is captured, the plan of Wickham turns out to be less noble then expected...

A fun movie, in which you don't have to think to much in all honesty.  Visually pleasing as London and it's surrounding area is nicely recreated, this was a good saturday evening flick to watch...
