Boys Don’t Make Passes at Girls Who Wield Katana and Slay Zombies
If you weren’t swayed by my review of the Pride & Prejudice & Zombies prequel Dawn of the Dreadfuls, Quirk offers this trailer, which, to be frank, is totally, totally awesome. It might be better than the actual book. I mean, I liked the book a lot, of course, but man I would love to watch a movie about give Victorian girls with samurai swords who train in their dad’s dojo and wander the English countryside decapitating the undead. This is like Kill Bill but in the 19th century and with zombies. Which makes it largely unlike Kill Bill, but there are still girls with swords. Gotta give me that.
