One that does something different for the horror genre. OVerall I find it to be an excellent movie. It shows what dark places people can go to for their faith.
#BLACK DEATH 2010 MOVIE REVIEW MOVIE#
Mixing it in with aspects of religion may drive some away, but I think the movie uses those aspects to good effect. One that shows just how dangerous people can be when they're scared of death. "Black Death" uses the bubonic-plague era to form a compelling tale. The characters are all well written and have believable dialog. The plot may seem slow-paced to some, but I found it to move excellently. Don't ask me what it is, but whenever you give Sean Bean a sword and some armor you're in for a treat. It's dark, cruel, and encourages standing strong in one's faith. Instead the horror is derived from the cruelty of people. There aren't any monsters or ghosts, and nothing is jumping out at you. Don't ask me what it is, Not your traditional horror movie. The Bad - maybe too much gore, though it was important to show the violence.After all the medieval times weren't a picnic, but more like a gritty day-to-day fight for survival. The Good - plot was.fun to watch unravel, it's thrilling, I wouldn't say the ending was predictable(coming from a guy, who likes movies with a twist), it was however logical.That much death, violence and deceit can seriously damage a human's mental state.The characters were believable, non-stereotypical(imo). I wouldn't say it's a horror movie, it takes more from movies like The Wickerman rather than typical horror flicks, though the amount of gore it has makes me think it was also influenced by The Saw movies.
