Director Burr Steers...does a nifty job of rocketing from period-piece romance to gory bloodshed, with sprinkles of dark humor here and there.

For all the splurch and head-lopping, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is monotonal. It turns its action sequences into a noisy blur.

I have several copies now and can't stop watching it. I LOVE IT! I think it is so much better than the book and I love how Burr Steers wrote the script with Jane Austenish scenes. The 1st proposal scene is fantastic and the 2nd proposal I can't stop re-watching. I love movies with strong women characters and the Bennet girls all are kick-ass great. Love how the story line was changed form the book. Lt. Wickham is evil anyway you read him, so I was thrilled to see him as the AntiChrist for the Zombies and a great adversary for Mr. Darcy. I so hope Burr Steers and everyone join up again for the sequel. I think the movie would have made more money if they had stuck to their original release date of February 19th instead of Super Bowl weekend. There were also too many Valentine's Days Movies the following weekend. GO Lily James and Sam Riley they are my favorite Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy ever. I will never see anyone else i those parts, they were a perfect match for the film and the Love/Hate tension was great all the way through the movie. Love the kissing scene after the proposal. They both had waited so long.

An interesting twist on a classic novel, the writing was good if not a little predictable and the acting was decent. Well except for Lily James who was delightful.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a pretty silly idea. So why on Earth is this movie, based on the satirical book by Seth Grahame-Smith, not having more fun?

Tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt substantial audiences, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is in fact a moderately entertaining film, not deficient in old-fashioned costume drama when it pleases, nor in the power of being clever where it chooses, but awkward and unsatisfying.

To put it in Austen terms: They will not have the pleasure of understanding what Steers is trying to do here.

This new horror/romance mashup provides just enough flavor of Jane Austen’s classic to tease without satisfying.

This movie is so crushing mainly because it was made by obviously smart people who are trying to dumb themselves down, and there’s nothing more excruciating than that.

I find Jane Austen to be one of the few joyful literary authors, and although this is a juxtaposition of Pride and Prejudice with a zombie apocalypse, it does a beautiful job of uplifting one’s spirit. It is a joyous bit of fun.

"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is a very crazy adaptation of Jane Austen's historical-romantic book "Pride and Prejudice", but now, mixed with the zombie wave, if the story was regular, but the performances were good, enjoy a good time with the characters, and the make-up, and the wardrobe was well achieved.

I don't get it.
I didn't read the book so i can't compare, but the movie is simply...slow and boring.
I can appreciate a satirical, unconventional movie (I'm a fan of B movie productions like Troma )...but this lacks the humor of a "real" b movie and seems always fake

This shameful reboot known as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is an immorally disgraceful extravaganza filled with nonsensical ridiculousness that is muddled in its hideous concept containing unethical themes which suffocates Jane Austen's beloved novel into a coffin.
