Pride, Prejudice & Zombies

I actually never intended to go to this movie at the full fare theater, but Swede showed up and wanted to go to a movie - so, Zombies it was.

I had seen the trailers when I went to Spectre with Swede last December and we both had laughed heartily at the idea.  But,  you know it is an intriguing idea ...

And actually they did a good job with the movie.  They kept the idea of the book and dialogue, whatever ones thinks of Jane Austin - her editor did a good job of making her writings witty and interesting.  Add Zombies and it becomes quite entrancing.

Hey it is about Zombies, so you could drive a truck through that one!  But for sheer fun, this movie was!  Campy and laugh enticing, we were falling out of our seats at some points.  It may not have been the intent of the producers but it was a very funny film!  The straight forward dialogue set in an unnatural surrounding was funny enough - but add some decent acting along the way and you end up roaring at the emphasis that probably was not intended by Ms Austin.

For me, this is an owner film!  D'Arcy, continually getting the tar beaten out of him by the woman winning his heart was just too much!  A few interesting twists, lots of holes, oh yeah - purely entertaining!

No swearing, no nudity, no "situations" - it was a breath of fresh air in a world of movies made by ethical and moral zombies ...

Now, will we be seeing Jane Eyre vs the Living Dead next?  Hmmmm, I maybe I ought to be working on that screen play .....
