New horror flick, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies comes out next month. In the latest trailer, we find out that the zombie apocalypse started with the Black Plague and that it’s up to the Jane Austen’s warriors to bring the fight to them.

I’m in – cool dresses, lady badasses, love stories amongst the horror, and gore, so much gore!

If you need more convincing then here’s a little about the film. The film was first a novel and the novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a fantastic read. The book was written by Seth Grahame-Smith (and of course Jane Austen) and the screenplay was adapted by Burr Steers. Genre fans will be excited to see Matt Smith (Doctor Who), Charles Dance (Game of Thrones, Childhood’s End) and Lena Heady (Game of Thrones) in the film. In the lead role of Elizabeth Bennet, is the wonderful Lily James (Downton Abbey, Cinderella).

Here’s the official synopsis: Jane Austen’s classic tale of the tangled relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England is faced with a new challenge — an army of undead zombies.

The film is set to release February 5, 2016.
