Movie Review: "Pride & Prejudice and Zombies" (2016)Carefully put into Sony Pictures' affiliated branch Screen Gems, a company constantly re-inventing itself since 1933 with mainly daring close to b-roll horror, science-fiction and daring comedy films since enterprising resurrection from December 8th 1998, rarely exceeding production bugdets of 35-Million-Dollar, nevertheless have fairly-expensive genre hits as the "Resident Evil" movie series starring Milla Jovovich under their rooster; here comes along this utterly re-interpretation of a Jane Austen classic love story book, firstly published in 1813, ingnited by film-maker Burr Steers, who had been nourishing industry connections since being part of "A Band Apart" production team days of Quentin Tarantino & Lawrence Bender realizing "Pulp Fiction" in season 1993/1994; a writer/director fulfills his dream of a genre-borderlining motion picture with a capable cast surrounding actors Sam Riley and Lily James as world-literature-inhabited famous soon-to-be fighting and coupling Mr. Darcy & Mrs. Bennett, while here so many obstacles are pushed to PG-13 timid endeavors of killing zombie creatures with no major red blood leaking wounds given, which might have saved the picture from a total brain-numbing experience of sweet-to-look at supplementary cast including short-passed actresses Bella Heathcote, Ellie Bamber, Millie Brady and Suki Waterhouse as samurai sword to short daggers swinging heroines to forget as soon as the curtain calls.FAZIT: Picture rejected (unprepared) © 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

The title pretty much says it all. The Bennet girls have been instructed in the orient in various martial arts, and when sisters fight, well, you get the picture. The film was more drama and romance than simple zombie fighting. Men propose at the drop of a hat.This production follows in a series of zombie films based on novels, "My Fair Zombie", "Warm Bodies" ("Romeo and Juliet"), that Asylum "Sleeping Beauty" thing, and "Twilight" with Kristen Stewart. Clearly this Zombie film had a serious budget. The movie followed the novel rather well (minus that one thing) as Lily James turned in an excellent performance unaccustomed to "B" movies.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity

So, where to begin. I love the story from Pride and prejudice I think it is one of the greatest love stories so elegant and charismatic but yet....in this case you just stare and wonder... how on earth did anyone had such an insane idea to mix together Pride and prejudice with Resident Evil? I basically watched the movie because I love the storyline from pride and prejudice and I want to see all ecranisations and also read the book 3 times but as far as this movie I will only recommend if you wanna have a good laugh and then give yourself a slap in the face that you actually saw it. There are some things that don't make any sense and the story moves so fast, boom now you are at the ball now you are in the middle of the battlefield and so on. But it doesn't make much sense this movie and I believe that his purpose was to be a Twilight parody with zombies than an actually romance action SF movie. Horror is an overstatement , because the horror part is that they keep show disfigured people and they keep cut their head off, so there is not for small kids but still horror is to much said, is a chick zombie flick :))

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES is undoubtedly a bad idea for a movie, a blackly comic misfire that misses the mark time and time again. The story is to take the essence of the Jane Austen novel and add a zombie apocalypse to the mix. I thought this was a ludicrous idea when the book came out and now, having seen the film version, I can confirm that I was right.The film's idea is to basically play out the plot of the original story but add zombies into the background of every scene. The zombie effects typically incorporate cheap-looking CGI while the action sequences are mishandled by the American director, who has no feel for his material.The only decent thing about this film are the presence of a handful of supporting actors such as Charles Dance, Jack Huston, and Lena Headey who do their best to make the whole thing bearable, but their efforts are in vain. Whether it's the miscast lead - Lily James, one of those pretty faces with nothing behind it - or Sam Riley's weirdly gruff accent, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES is an embarrassment all round.
