Fate leads Elizabeth Bennet (Lily James), a master of martial arts and weaponry, to join forces with Mr. Darcy (Sam Riley), a handsome but arrogant gentleman.

Critics Consensus

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies manages to wring a few fun moments out of its premise, but never delivers the thoroughly kooky mashup its title suggests.

3/4

Steers' adaptation of Grahame-Smith's source material is a heck of a lot of fun.

3.5/5

This adaptation of the spoof novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies ditches some of the book's darker elements to make a streamlined female-empowerment story.

The movie strives to be both scary and funny but winds up being neither.

3/5

This isn’t a throwaway movie. Despite its issues, it is still fun and manages to be more entertaining than it had any right to be.

1.5/4

Exploits our culture's current obsession with zombies, but it lacks the winking charm hinted upon with its title.

3.5/5

Makes the best of its one joke, the mashup of Austen romantic fiction with zombie realism, deftly (and ridiculously) blending the sublime with the ultraviolent.

I liked it. I got what I expected, a fun movie, and it was felt kind of meaningful and nostalgic a little too.

This movie should not work but somehow it does and it does well, this film also gets a star for that awesome animated opening title sequence.

Great cast and serious acting skill while adhering to the tone and arc of the original piece makes this satire very entertaining. You must have seen the original.

This is NOT Dracula Meets Frankenstein - it's more like an ox cart or a dragged side of beef across an aristocratic ballroom floor. If you feel the intense romance of the Jane Austin AND the terrifying fear of the supremely ghoulish zombie, only THEN will you appreciate this movie. Crunchy Frog? If you are an intellectual, you won't like it. If you're not a romantic, you won't get it.
