This leads to events like Caroline Bingley becoming irritated at Elizabeth tracking mud and zombie debris through Netherfield rather than praise at Elizabeth's taking out zombies or concern that a trio of zombies were as close to Netherfield as they were.

* SlidingScaleOfComedyAndHorror: The film is definitely balanced. As it's mashing a romantic comedy with a zombie invasion, most of the original comedy from the book is intact.

However there are many moments that are PlayedForLaughs in a straight-laced way - as Darcy's AnguishedDeclarationOfLove becomes a kung-fu fight between him and Lizzie.

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Regency England is far more brutal than it was in real life, likely a result of the plague. Duels to the death are common, and servants are often savagely beaten.
