Review of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016) by Trineo99 — 27 Jan 2019

First of all, the acting in this film could have been better by some of the actors. Lily James, who plays Elizabeth Bennet, probably was the only one out of the entire cast that was actually good. She wasn’t just a robot, in all of her scenes at least, but showed emotion.

The rest of the cast I wish I could say the same but I can’t. They all barely show any emotion in any scenes. Now I have nothing against Sam Riley, who plays Mr. Darcy, but I think he was a terrible choice for Mr.

Darcy. I have recently watched the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice so I do understand that Mr. Darcy is supposed to come across as emotionless and miserable to the public but when he’s with Elizabeth he lightens up a bit.

In this film, he’s just straight up emotionless and miserable throughout the entire film. At first, I thought they used makeup for the zombies but upon further inspection they actually used CGI and it wasn’t good.

The reason why zombies are terrifying in this modern day and age is that movies and TV use makeup effects for their zombies. One thing I did like though was the costumes. Just by looking at the characters outfits you can easily figure out their personality.

For example, with Darcy, his outfits throughout the entire film are black showing how he is miserable compared to his friend Bingley, played by Douglas Booth, who has more brighter colours showing how he is more outgoing.

Finally, the musical score, composed by Fernando Velazquez, is fantastic and you can easily listen to it an understand what’s going on at that point and time in the film. In the end, this film isn’t great but if you turn your brain off then you’ll have a good time.
