Synopsis

Despite its supernatural atmosphere, BLACK DEATH is a horror movie that trades on a very human kind of evil. With Medieval England consumed by the black plague, a monastery is perturbed by reports of an isolated pagan village that remains untouched by the disease. Suspecting the work of witchcraft, a young monk (Eddie Redmayne) is ordered by his superiors to guide a detachment of mercenaries to this pagan community on a mission to beat God back into them. Led by Ulric (Sean Bean from LORD OF THE RINGS), a famed and feared witch-hunter, the monk soon finds himself on a perilous journey that will test not only his faith and moral compass, but the audience’s as well. With BLACK DEATH, Christopher Smith (CREEP, SEVERANCE) continues to prove himself as one of the UK’s brightest and most versatile genre directors.
