It is entertaining, if you can let go of the traditional story of Liz and Darcy.

I saw this on DVD from my public library, it is well-made and takes the traditional "Pride and Prejudice" story with all its main characters and layers on top a story of Vampires that threaten to take over in the "in between" land surrounding London.

There will always be those who can't part even one iota with an established story and I suspect those hate this movie. But it immediately reminded me of a 2012 movie, "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter", which I enjoyed a lot.

Lily James is great as independent Elizabeth Bennet, one of the five Bennet sisters concerned with finding themselves a husband of means. As well Sam Riley is great as Colonel Fitzwilliam Darcy. Elizabeth has become quite the competent fighter herself.

I enjoyed it, I was entertained, and that is all one can hope for in a movie titled "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies."
