Review of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016) by Scott P — 08 Nov 2016

PPZ was quite a bit better than I was expecting. I was at first underwhelmed when they decided to open with an extended look at Mr. Darcy Zombie Hunter instead of joining immediately with Lizzie. However, it seemed a fair way to pull zombies, courtly attitudes, the flies, and Mr. Darcy's temperament and later guilt. As comical as it was seeing Liz catch those flies, it was a wonderfully silly way of bringing all that back around to Miss Bennet and her sister.

Hmm, it seems also that Mr. Wickham and Mr. Collins got a great deal more mileage in this movie than any of the Bennets as well with most of the later chapters switching focus towards Wickham's villainy than Lydia's impulsiveness. And Collins was frightfully funny.

As the movie ends, without even relating to this movie, the music swelling while Collins was pronouncing over the finale, the combination of the face and the moodful strings... I feel chills and heartache. I wil always remember when the Doctor was he. Wake up, wake up...
