To get a better understanding of PPZ, watch the original Pride & Prejudice first. It will help to enjoy more of the humor. However, it does also work as a stand alone movie. The book began a new classification of literature of combining classics with horror effects. This pairing has made many older novels much better reads for many younger readers.I have used it with reading improvement classes. The film works very well, great special effects, plenty of action.

Based perhaps rather loosely on the book based on Miss Austen's book, it's a movie about girl power, with occasional doses of ironic humor. Set in a besieged eighteenth-century England, the movie contains appropriate amount of blood, guts and shambling hoards of the undead. Without any marquee names present, the lead parts are played by nice English gels with small chins.

About the movie... it wasn't as ridiculous as the title would suggest. I think that the zombie idea was well incorporated into the pride and prejudice story line. About the product...The disc was in good condition and harlots of special features.

The ideal audience for this film would be someone who loves both Jane Austen novels and zombie fiction. You wouldn't think many such people exist; however, the film is based on a bestselling book of the same title, so there must be more dual fans than I imagined. The storyline stays true to the original PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, but adds a zombie apocalypse to the plot. While this may offend some Austen fans, it is not a parody. It is a romantic drama where the ongoing war with the undead is equally as important as marrying the right suitor. When Elizabeth Bennett is told that someday a man will make her want to trade her zombie-slaying sword for a wedding ring, she replies, "The RIGHT man wouldn't ask me to." Elizabeth is still the same person Austen fans love, only with martial arts skills. If you are unfamiliar with PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, you can still enjoy the film as an intelligent zombie story. Think of it as THE WALKING DEAD in Regency England. Read full review

Jane Austen would probably not be amused, but I definitely was. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies manages to keep the flavor of the Austen novel while maintaining the horror angle twist. Pacing is a bit slow, but then the original story itself is hardly a speed read. Effects are pretty good; my only complaint, as a horror fan, is I would have liked to have seen a few more (extreme) zombie makeups.
