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.

Rated: 3/4

Chesapeake Family Magazine

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

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.

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 1.5/4

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.

The greatest film ever made that does not feature Nicholas Cage. It combines wit, charm, elegance and Zombies. What more could a sophisticated and erudite audience ask for?

Excellent! This is really one very well, written pride and prejudice, variation. This this is not for Jane Austin purist . This is not the BBC pride and prejudice variation, which I consider one of the best, but it’s very entertaining. I love Mr. Darcy in this version, and he gives one of the best marriage proposals I’ve seen on TV. I give this movie an A.

To give this movie anything other than a five star I don’t understand. One of my absolute favorite movies. It’s absolutely a must watch! From the storyline to the casting to the acting, absolutely superb. Since the movie came out, Ive probably watched this movie at least 20 times. If you’re on the fence, watch it it’s a great movie

I thought this was going to be more of a comedy, but it really doesn't have that much. It's more like Pride and Prejudice as it is, plus the zombies, which don't have that great screen time; it's more of the known issues of the Bennett sisters but in this case are also trained warriors
