Black Death Reviewed

Black Death is as dark and as powerful as it sounds. The film is brimming with a dark, foreboding energy and your eyes will never leave the screen. The narrative is fantastic and will capture your interest immediately. Black Death tells the tale of Ulric, a religious knight played by Sean Bean who at the height of the black death is leading a band of mercenaries in search of a remote village that has been entirely spared from the horrors of the plague. Tales and rumors’ say that this is because the inhabitants practice satanic rituals and in return the Dark Lord spares them from sickness and breathes life back into the corpses of the dead. Beans mission is to capture their leader in the name of the church, secure a confession and kill him. But are these satanic rituals really taking place or is it all the desperate rumors’ thought up by those who are suffering? Black Death is a film I would highly recommend, it deserves your time and my guesses are that it is a possible future classic. So book those tickets and catch it whilst you still can!
