Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016)

Halloween Month may be over, but the Movie Marathon continues! Because there are too many great horror films to squeeze into 30 days. (Also because I'm bed-ridden for the week while my leg heals and have nothing better to do)

I enjoyed the novel version of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but I was a little nervous about a movie version. I was afraid it would be a lot like the novel; the original text for the most part with some zombie scenes and dialogue worked in between the regular plot. But they did a great job making a terrifyingly immersive apocalyptic 19th century world.

I'm bored of "scientifically-accurate" zombies, so having supernatural zombies come back (in a unique time period to boot!) makes for some thrilling story. I've read Pride and Prejudice and seen several movie versions of it over the years and it's a great classic tale. But this was just the spooky twist I needed to see. I highly recommend this film!
