Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, 1996

This version is very interesting. The cast chose the Book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, by Seth Grahame Smith's. 


It happened in England, in the 19th century, but the movie was filmed in 1996. 





They were 7 sisters but two got infected. They are different from the original Bennet's, the girls are warriors, they had to learned martial art to fight against the undead. People in England got bit by a kind of zombie, it spread fast and only a few humans were in the final fight to survive. They say that is Black Plague, but for me is a variation of Vampirism or by the animals or water infected. They can be infected by many channels.



In this variation people have conscious and they can communicate normally. They even went in the Church to pray. 




Some of them were against their survival, but they had the support of a hidden zombie, Sr. Wickham interpreted by Jack Huston, who was hiding his truly motivations. Mr. Darcy killed him in a battle.



Some of them are very pale, their skin is not so fresh and bright.

Elizabeth is interpreted by Lily James, in a modern version, independent and strong. She is incredible smart and she fell in love with Mr. Darcy here interpreted by Sam Riley, the same actor who did Mr. Favell in Rebecca's movie. 


Her skills are very impressive, she managed to defeat a giant, the body guard of the Queen Lady Catherine, interpreted by the actress of Game of Thrones, Lena Headey. I like her very much, good to see her alive. She challenged Lisa to not marry Mr. Darcy, but she said, i will not give up on him and this was a big motivation to win this fight. 


"I do not know which i admire more, Elizabeth Bennet, your skill as a warrior, or your resolve as a woman". 

"Zombies Aristocrats?"

After the dark time the happy couples said YES. 



Rating: 10 stars.
