Pride and Prejudice and
Zombies (2016)
Directed by Burr
Steers this film based on the novel of the same name tars Lily James,
Sam Riley, Jack Huston, Bella Heathcote, Douglas Booth and Matt
Smith. The familiar story of Pride and Prejudice set in a period
piece England beset by zombies.
Sticking pretty
closely to Jane Austin's source material this is a fairly fun watch
but never really makes the most of it's genre mash up. The addition
of zombies puts a slightly different spin on the familiar narrative
but never enough to be more than a gimmick really. Mostly the film is
well made but there are points at which the lower budget is
noticeable in some of the bigger set pieces.
3/5
