December 17th - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016)
A zombie parody of the 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I quite enjoyed the film even though it never really delivers on it's premise that successfully. Yes there are zombies, lot's of them throughout the film as well as lots of action and zombie slaying, but it lacked a certain magic in the script that would have made it great. It also lacked scares which was even worse.
The film sports an excellent cast including Sam Riley, Lily James, Lena Headey, Charles Dance and former Doctor Who Matt Smith who i felt stole the show with his quirky mannerisms, in fact he wasn't a million miles away from his Time Lord persona. The more i think about the film whilst typing this the more i feel had Smith not been involved it would have ended up far lower down in my estimations.
