Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Skip it. This is a gimmick movie that mistakes mashing up Jane Austen with gore for actual creativity—the novelty wears off fast and you're left with a clunky zombie action film that's too silly for horror fans and too messy for Austen lovers. Unless you're specifically in the mood for campy B-movie cheese, your night is better spent elsewhere.
Plot
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.
