Black Death (2010)
Directed by
Christopher Smith this film stars Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne and
Clarice van Houten. A young monk joins a group sent to investigate
claims of heresy in a village that has been left untouched by the
plague that is ravaging the rest of the country.
There is plenty of
British acting talent in this this film but it was financed and shot
in Germany which provides a decent stand in for medieval Britain.
While the plot has lots of potential it never really gets to delve
into any one area. For a supposed horror film the execution lacks
mystery and eerie suspense leading up to the reveals but is still
very watch-able.
3/5
