Black Death (2010)
7/10
A low budget movie about a group of people on a journey done right
22 December 2011
This movie basically turned out to be more than what I expected. I was expecting a decent movie since I liked the director Christopher Smith's previous works but this movie overall is a low budget movie most definitely worth seeing once. This movie has some very well crafted twists that M. Night Shyamalan should learn from. You know those movies where you think you have everything down? Well this isn't one of them, just when you might think you know what direction it's going to go and how it's going to end. It will suddenly take the audiences for a loop. So basically a group of Christian demon slayers are on a mission to kill a necromancer with the help of a young monk guide who is on the mission as well for a reason. And they are on this journey while a deadly plague is killing off many people. The thing is, usually for a low budget movie like this it takes a while to actually care about what happens to the group. But the direction of this made me sort of care who dies and who lives, especially when the movie came close to the end. I like the actor Sean Bean and he was fantastic in this but the other actors and actresses stood out as well. This is a low budget movie that is very much worth the time to see and will be looking forward to this director's next work.
