In 1348, England is devastated by the Bubonic plague which spreads death across the lands and villages. The young monk, Osmund, asks his beloved Averill to travel with him to a remote village near the Dentwich Forest where the Black Death has not reached yet. She says that she will wait for him in the forest, but Osmund tells her that he will stay at the Staveley Monastery as he is a man of God. However, the emissary of the bishop Ulric arrives at the monastery recruiting a religious man to guide his soldiers and him through the forest and the swamp to the village. They believe that there is a necromancer resurrecting people and protecting the village from the plague. Along their journey, they fight against forest thieves and Osmund finds Averill&#39;s clothes dirty and bloody. When they reach the village, they find happy and healthy villagers that have renounced God but are living in peace, and they are welcomed by the leaders Hob and the alchemist Langiva.
Set during the time of the first outbreak of bubonic plague in England, a young monk is given the task of learning the truth about reports of people being brought back to life in a small village.
I wasn&#39;t sure what to expect when I sat down to watch this movie. I knew Sean Bean was in it and that it was set in the middle ages during the plague, but that&#39;s about it.<br/><br/>It turned out to be a good suspense movie with some nice plot twists. The best part is how the suspense is slowly built up, until you think you might know what is really going on, and then later you understand its something completely different. No spoilers, but the way the story keeps you guessing and fools you is quite well done.<br/><br/>The acting is good too with all the minor characters doing believable performances. Carice van Houten is especially noteworthy and interesting as the village leader. She was entrancing and definitely the stand out in the movie. Sean Bean does a workmanlike job as a righteous knight, and as usual is a good presence in the film.<br/><br/>A note on the ending - yes, as other reviewers have said, the ending feels rushed and tacked on, and completely unnecessary. But I can overlook it because it&#39;s quite brief and can be shrugged off and doesn&#39;t detract from the rest of the movie to any degree in my opinion.
Upon reading some of the reviews, I realized that many people did not understand this movie. In fact, some even misunderstood the plot itself.<br/><br/>This movie explores the vice that is hidden in every human&#39;s heart. And, if left unchecked, can be used for great evil. This underlying theme is a bit cynical, I admit. But I think it portrays the dark ages well.<br/><br/>This movie is no action flick or romantic film. So if you&#39;re looking for these, look elsewhere.<br/><br/>If you like to watch movies that make you think and explores the heart of humanity, watch it. I hope you&#39;ll enjoy it as much as I did.
Here, excessive piety and rampant paganism are equally malevolent forces, the film's baleful view of human nature mirrored in Sebastian Edschmid's swampy photography. As is emphasized in a nicely consistent coda, the Lord's side and the right side are not necessarily one and the same.
Osmund (<a href="/name/nm1519666/">Eddie Redmayne</a>), a novice monk in 1348 England during the time of the first outbreak of Black Death, agrees to lead Ulrich (<a href="/name/nm0000293/">Sean Bean</a>), an envoy to the Bishop, and his followers, to a village in the Great Marsh that has not yet been ravaged by the disease. Ulric believes that the village is headed by a necromancer and wants to bring him or her back for confession, trial, and execution. Black Death is based on an original screenplay by Dario Poloni. The Black Death is another term for bubonic plague, caused by the Yersinia pestis bacteria and mostly spread by germ-infected fleas hitchhiking on rats. It is infamous for wiping out an estimated 25 million people in 14th century Europe. At that time, however, germs were unknown (germs were discovered by Louis Pasteur in 1860), so the scourge was blamed on either the sins of the people or on witchcraft. The name &quot;bubonic&quot; comes from &quot;bubo&quot;, meaning &quot;swollen gland&quot;. Swollen lymph nodes (buboes) in the armpit and groin were a sure sign of the infection, which typically kills in 4 to 5 days. Bubonic plague is still active today, but it is treatable with appropriate antibiotics. They&#39;re called &quot;beak masks&quot; because the shape looks like a bird&#39;s beak. Worn by doctors (and robbers) during the medieval plague, the beaks were filled with herbs and other concoctions thought to protect the wearer from &quot;bad air&quot;. In essence, the beak masks are an early type of gas mask. Although they may not have protected against bubonic plague spread by flea bites, the masks may have offered protection against the pneumonic and septicemic forms of the disease. According to Wolfstan (<a href="/name/nm0001487/">John Lynch</a>), one of Ulric&#39;s followers, a necromancer is someone who plucks the dead from the cold earth and breathes new life into them. Not according to the movie. In Osmund&#39;s tromp through the swamp looking for Langiva (<a href="/name/nm0396924/">Carice van Houten</a>), she admits that she used trickery and herbalism to perform the miracles people in her village expected, perhaps to make them believe that she had supernatural powers or perhaps to convince them that there was no such thing as God. When Osmund pleaded with her to resurrect Averill (<a href="/name/nm2632878/">Kimberley Nixon</a>) for the second time, Langiva said that she could not, because Osmund had really killed Averill and by his own hand. Although the village had no plague so far, it wasn&#39;t because of supernatural reasons, but because of its isolation. After the massacre of the witch hunters and many of the villagers, Wolfstan returns the wounded Osmund to the monastery. In a voiceover, Wolfstan tells how he heard stories about Osmund&#39;s heart turning cold in the years that followed and how Osmund took up the sword, looking for Langiva in every woman he saw, torturing them and burning them as witches. Whether he actually found Langiva is unknown, as every woman looked like Langiva to him. In the final scene, Osmund burns yet another &quot;witch&quot;, and Wolfstan says that he would like to think that Osmund eventually found peace and goodness.  a5c7b9f00b
