Review: Take a bite out of Jane Austen with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Review: Take a bite out of Jane Austen with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: "

Pity the Bennett sisters. Coming of age in the bucolic English village of Meryton, they need to contend not only with the delicate task of finding husbands for themselves, but also with carnivorous 'unmentionables,' i.e. rotting zombies, who have risen from the Earth and now shamble from one quaint outpost of civilization to another in search of living flesh. It is fortunate indeed that their education included time in the far east, where they learned to kick ass.



Elizabeth, the toughest and fairest of them all, can be followed both taking an intense dislike to Mr. Darcy and tossing a lit flame into a gathering of oil-soaked zombies, while muttering dialogue that serves as hybrid between Romero-movie one-liners and feminine sass. 'Let them burn,' she snarls. 'Let them have a taste of eternity.'
