Critics Consensus

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies manages to wring a few fun moments out of its premise, but never delivers the thoroughly kooky mashup its title suggests.

Steers' adaptation of Grahame-Smith's source material is a heck of a lot of fun.

3.5/5

This adaptation of the spoof novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies ditches some of the book's darker elements to make a streamlined female-empowerment story.

The movie strives to be both scary and funny but winds up being neither.

This isn’t a throwaway movie. Despite its issues, it is still fun and manages to be more entertaining than it had any right to be.

1.5/4

Exploits our culture's current obsession with zombies, but it lacks the winking charm hinted upon with its title.

Seth Grahame-Smith's novel brings a modern classic bang up to date while always maintaining respect for the original material, and it looks as though this adaptation will do it justice.

I don't think I can call it a good movie, but it 100% delivers on the premise. Loved it.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is one of the most fun, wildly inventive genre mash-ups ever committed to film. Let’s address the most common criticisms Criticism #1 — "The tone is inconsistent." Sure, if your expectation is a somber period piece or a gritty zombie epic, this isn’t for you. But that criticism is precisely why this movie works: it confidently blends Regency romance with martial-arts mayhem and undead chaos in a way that should feel jarringly delightful. What some diehard critics call "inconsistent," fans call genre fusion brilliance — a cheeky wink instead of a dour drag. The film isn’t muddled; it’s playfully eclectic. Criticism #2 — "The action is muddy and the zombies aren’t scary." This misses the point entirely. This isn’t 28 Days Later or Zombieland — it’s a zombie romantic comedy, the undead are plot catalysts, not jump-scare fodder. The martial training, period costumes, and swashbuckling are delivered in a way that’s absolutely intentional, not a flaw.

The book is good fun, not sure why ita was needed to change it even more. It takes itself too seriously, it is jane Austen with zombies, how can you not make a comedy out of this?

Pride and Prejudice original tale presents a rich gallery of exceptional characters enacting an insufferably boring tale. The Zombies allow to preserve all meaningful interactions while moving the plot forward. Entretaining, and therefore, true cinema
