The Choice

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
(Screen Gems) Lily James, Sam Riley, Bella Heathcote, Matt Smith.

The prim and proper ladies of the time are forced to learn the arts of war along with the arts of homemaking. That in itself to the people of the time is a definite sign of the apocalypse.
