Feb 5, 2016 · Advertisement. What differentiates “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” from its literary source material is its big action sequences, but they’re staged, lit, shot and edited in such muddled fashion, it’s often difficult to tell what’s going on.

When Jane Austen first wrote her iconic 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice, she likely never imagined that it would be one day reimagined with the undead integral to the plot. But Burr Steers' modernized, genre-mashing take on Seth Grahame-Smith's novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies breathes life back into the Regency England setting by populating it with the zombies.
There are a fair share of prejudices against Pride and Prejudice and Zombies before it even hits theaters. Much of the conversation surrounding the film was over the balance of Pride and Prejudice to zombies. Would it be funny? Would it be full of horror and thrills? Would it work?
The balance does work well for the project, even if it takes a while to settle into cohesively telling both sides of the story. One unfortunate scene with a zombie snot sets the movie off on the wrong foot, but by the third act Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has melded its Austen side well with its undead one. In this world, the zombie plague overtook London, sending many members of the British aristocracy to their reinforced country estates to protect themselves and their families. In addition to teaching their sons and daughters propriety, they also trained them in the arts of fighting -- wealthy daughters were sent to Japan to train under their masters, while "wise" parents, as Charles Dance's Mr. Bennet described himself, sent their children to China. This immediately sets up a modernized take on the story.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is as fun as the premise warrants, if sometimes it has difficulty making the Pride and Prejudice work alongside the zombies. The movie absolutely wouldn't work without the stellar cast committing to the idea, and it's because of them that it's as good as it is. Some weak editing and writing causes the film to stumble...

Based on Seth Grahame-Smith's 2009 horror-parody of Jane Austen's 1813 literary classic, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is unwieldy horror-comedy - delivering an amusing but gimmicky blend of Regency-era romance and zombie mythology. Much like its novel source material, the pop-culture mashup premise offers appealing juxtaposition but ...

"Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen is among the most beautiful romances ever. The 2005 cinema version directed by Joe Wright is a gem of the cinema industry. The bad taste and lack of respect of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" by Burr Steers is impressive, destroying the wonderful romance with a brainless and silly version.
