The premise

A zombie outbreak has fallen upon the land in this reimagining of Jane Austen's classic tale of the tangled relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England. Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is a master of martial arts and weaponry and the handsome Mr. Darcy is a fierce zombie killer, yet the epitome of upper class prejudice. As the zombie outbreak intensifies, they must swallow their pride and join forces on the blood-soaked battlefield in order to conquer the undead once and for all.

Horror Vault's take

Regency England has a problem beyond drawing-room gossip — the dead won't stay dead. In this audacious literary mashup, the Bennet sisters are as skilled with a blade as they are at navigating society's rigid expectations, while the brooding Mr. Darcy proves equally handy dispatching the undead. Romance, rivalry, and rotting hordes collide in a blood-splattered reimagining that plays its absurd premise with surprising conviction. Sharp wit and sharp swords are both very much required.
