	Media	Author	Review
		Nick De Semlyen Empire	"A misshapen venture, a horror-comedy without much in the way of laughs or scares. And zombie purists beware: these biters don’t just run. They talk too (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)'
		Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"Compared with other Jane Austen movies, it isn’t much, but compared with other zombie apocalypse movies, it’s an intelligent, literate effort"
		Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter	"It is a truth universally acknowledged that most people will do anything to make money (...) Lumbering, lifeless, and almost entirely charmless"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Director Burr Steers (...) does a nifty job of rocketing from period-piece romance to gory bloodshed, with sprinkles of dark humor here and there (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
		Andrew Barker Variety	"Tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt substantial audiences, 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' is in fact a moderately entertaining film (...) but awkward and unsatisfying."
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"PP&Z is rated PG-13, so the gore is decidedly decorous. But before repetition dulls the party, Pride gets in a few juicy innings (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"
		Clark Collis Entertainment Weekly	"If more inventive than scary, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies breathes fresh life into the hugely popular, but now desperately predictable, undead genre"
		Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"The story’s lone joke and its grinding literalness grow dull."
		Tom Huddleston Time Out	¨A good looking, well acted but totally un-horrifying and unfunny adaptation (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"
		Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"There's a lot of Pride And Prejudice, and some unremarkable, low-budget Zombies. But the film is very much less than the sum of its parts"
		Dan Callahan The Wrap	"The essential problem here is that the story and characters of Austen's novel feel totally separate from the crass and pandering zombie plot overlay, so much so that some of it just doesn't make much sense"
