Pride And Prejudice And Zombies 4K UltraHD

The late 1700s to early 1800s Olde England world of Jane Austin’s Pride And Prejudice is spiced up with a local, if not global, crisis—And Zombies. As in the original novel, the central characters are the five unmarried Bennett sisters who pursue the recently arrived and eligible Mr. Bingley and his status-seeking friend, Mr. Darcy. Here the Bennett sisters are highly trained and very well-armed zombie fighters. The wealthy and lucky few live in protected areas, thinking they are (mostly) safe from zombies that change slowly and talk, think, and move like nothing is wrong except for their rotting flesh that spreads slowly after their initial infection. Once a zombie is committed to their new existence, they can accelerate the change by eating some good old human brains, causing them to become very dangerous, very quickly. The movie tries to play the zombie crisis straight, but it’s not quite successful. Something went missing when the movie makers tried to combine 19th century England with a slightly modified zombie apocalypse. Cowboys And Aliens managed to blend two things that don’t normally go together in movies much better than what is achieved here. (Doug Blackburn)
