A little birdie told me that this film was one of the most underrated from last year. Just the thing to peak my interest. The theme is also one that interests me - religion in the Middle Ages.
The emissaries of the church march forth with their implements of torture rooting out all opposition. They seek a village where the Black Death has not reached, believed that Satan rules there. Indeed, a necromancer is in charge.
Now, there are Oscar-caliber actors in this film, so you have to look at it as an ensemble. All-in-all, they did not disappoint. I especially liked Carice van Houten (Black Book) as the necromancer.
A battle between good and evil ensues. Evil wins.
