Win Pride and Prejudice and Zombies movie tickets
Some critics have described Pride and Prejudice and Zombies as an unexpected horror-comedy, combining Jane Austen-style romance with modern zombie mythology.
THE classic tale of the tangled relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England is faced with a new challenge – an army of zombies! Pride and Prejudice and Zombies started showing at Nu Metro The Glen on Friday, April 1, and it promises a unique big screen combination of horror and adventure, packaged as an exciting action thriller.
A mysterious plague turns the 19th century English countryside into a war zone. No one is safe as the dead come back to life to terrorise the land. Fate leads Elizabeth Bennet (Lily James), a master of martial arts and weaponry, to join forces with Mr Darcy (Sam Riley), a handsome but arrogant gentleman.
Elizabeth can’t stand Darcy, but respects his skills as a zombie killer. Casting aside their personal differences, they unite on the blood-soaked battlefield to save their country.
Some critics have described Pride and Prejudice and Zombies as an unexpected horror-comedy, combining Jane Austen-style romance with modern zombie mythology. The film is based on the novel by Seth Grahame-Smith; Austen is credited as co-author. Published in April 2009, it is one of the first of the current trend of literary mash-ups. Grahame-Smith took Jane Austen’s original text of “Pride and Prejudice”, and added zombie attacks and martial arts defences to the mix.
