A moderately entertaining film, not deficient in old-fashioned costume drama when it pleases, nor in the power of being clever where it chooses, but awkward and unsatisfying.
Full reviewFamiliar with the classic Jane Austen tale of social classes and relationship entanglements set in 19th Century England? This is that, but with zombies. Stars Lily James as Elizabeth and Sam Riley as Mr. Darcy. Co-stars Doctor Who’s Matt Smith and Game of Thrones’ Lena Headey.
A zombie outbreak has fallen upon the land. 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.

Full reviewOnly intermittently entertaining, and a better adaptation of Austen than a monster mash.
