I have no wish to deny it. I did everything in my power to separate my friend from your sister. Because I perceived his attachment to her to be far deeper than hers to him. I believed her to be indifferent.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016). Directed by Burr Steers.

Sadly it was a commercial failure.

But it's fun. I'll have to watch a version of the original story without the zombies. Lol

just realised there’s another horror(ish) that both Morfydd Clark and Matt Smith have starred in and I need to watch it now

Last week I watched “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” (2016) Action/Horror/Romance

I was hoping for something similar to “Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter”. An action movie with supernatural creatures in a historical setting. I expected a dumb but enjoyable movie and I did not receive it.

The way the zombies worked had some interesting ideas but failed in execution. It really failed to be tense and I didn’t like the ideas of zombies being redeemable, even if it turned out to be untrue. The romance also sucked and was very underwhelming. I thought most of the characters were pretty dumb for underestimating the danger of the zombies, especially for the supposedly seasoned weapons expert sisters. There were some audio issues and I had difficulty understanding what the characters were saying a lot of the time. The element of characters learning “eastern fighting strategies” was also pretty stupid for a multitude of reasons. I also didn’t like the open and abrupt ending that didn’t resolve anything.

I will admit that I don’t like pride and prejudice all that much, but I feel like this would have worked better if there was more “zombies” and less “pride and prejudice”. It really felt like a restraint rather than a framework to bild on top of.

4/10

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES (2016)

dir. burr steers

[recycledmoviecostumes]

The blend of romance and horror in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies set the stage for a unique twist on classic literature, proving that even elegant ball gowns can become a fierce weapon against the undead in this groundbreaking parody-horror genre.

The 2016 film adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's parody of Jane Austen's original novel saw Lena Headley as Lady Catherine de Bourgh, wearing this magnificent purple velvet redignote.

The very next year, the costume was spotted again on an extra episode of Doctor Who entitled Thin Ice.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.

Pride & Prejudice & Zombies (2016)

Alright I have to admit it. I wasn't super looking forward to this one but I had a romp of a time.

Mostly due to THIS GUY

why did no one tell me Matt Smith was not only in this but one of my favorite versions of Collins EVER. I didn't know my ideal Collins was a foppish bisexual disaster

"We're expecting a proposal for Jane any day now" "Ohhhhhhhhhhh...fuddle. Is there no negotiating over Jane?"

"Mr Bennet I am very susceptible to flattery and you sir, are very charming."

"Oh is there trouble?" (the ladies unsheath their weapons) "Oh it appears there is."

his little wave across the ballroom

And then he officiates the weddings at the end? "You may now kiss Mr Darcy - the brides. You may now kiss the brides" and then he watches Elizabeth and Darcy, just incredible. Watch this movie for Matt Smith, if nothing else.

But also, just a fun movie. Overdramatic? Of course. Interesting take on zombies? Check. True to canon? eeeeeehhhhhh even in the beginning it compressed a lot of conversations, and then as any good variation, went off the rails, but the important bits were there. I particularly enjoyed the moment after the proposal where Lizzy loses her temper and is throwing books and things at Darcy, who is just batting them away.

Of COURSE they had Darcy strip to a white shirt and jump in the lake. Wonderful. Yes. the data

I LOVE that Jane saved Bingley, love a strong Jane.

And adored the line "the very first moment I beheld you, my heart was irrevocably gone"

so fun.
