The new film Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has it all, provided of course you are looking for a film that contains pride and prejudice and zombies.
The unlikely horror movie takes the events of Jane Austen’s beloved romance novel Pride and Prejudice and sets it in a world where zombie attacks are an everyday occurrence, which makes the already difficult romance of Elizabeth Bennet (Lily James) and Mr. Darcy (Sam Riley) damn near impossible.
With the film now finally available on DVD, Blu-ray and even 4K Ultra HD, we thought now was a good time to share with you ten whole minutes of the film, to give you some idea of just how many undead monsters and lovely frocks await you in Burr Steers’ latest film. Enjoy!
