Why did no one tell me how awesome Pride and Prejudice and Zombie is? I've finally seen it and it has immediately gone into the pre-order queue.

I've done a proper review over here at my Tasha's Thinings blog: Zombies! With a little Pride and a little Prejudice. But here I just intend to squee a bit.

Sam Riley is just so lovely as Darcy. He's all cold and serious and then with a centre of marshmallow where he's really all worried about people ... and zombies.

Which of course doesn't lessen how incredibly wonderful the ladies in this film are. So very, very good. I want more!

My only complaint is lack of diversity in the cast. I know it's regency England, but they could have done what most Shakespeare plays do these days and ignore race in the context of the setting.
