Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Benedito Dias Rodrigues For a long time the European producers are ahead from Americans in making movies, Black Death is an example, all scenes shoot in locations,no blue screen... no graphic computer everything in wild places, fantastic epic story settled in dark ages, one's the most fascinating era of our history, when the church's power brings a fear for all...in this movie three spots must to be remembered in the monastery...the fight in Sand's Cave and finally in the village near the swamp.... all German ground all characters are great specially Sean Bean as Ulrich and Carice van Routen as witch Lagiva a necromancy without forget Eddie Redmayne as young novice...fantastic story over black death,witchcraft and necromancy!!!

Fella_shibby I saw this on a rented DVD in 2010. A very underrated film shot on a small budget. The movie did a good job in showing the good and bad sides of human nature. Its a very dark, depressing film with a brutal n shocking finale. It is a very well-paced and thought provoking film. The acting is very well which helps you connect with the characters better. Sean Bean n Eddie Redmayne did a good job. Carice van Houten was enticing. There is a creepy tension throughout the film. The film has a strong, evil-smelling, grim atmosphere. The locations r appropriately beautiful, sinister, foggy and ancient all at the same time. Good work there. There is a constant feeling of dread n repulsion that the film manages to create. Good amount of mystery n tension throughout. The depiction of the plague was done well, the desolated environment, the creepy woods, the dead bodies, the un-ravaged village, really aided the haunting atmosphere the film attempted to invoke. As a viewer I genuinely got transported to the medieval time. Have enjoyed Christopher Smith's Traingle, Creep n Severance.

Guilherme Figueiredo The film can be considered a horror from the beginning to the end, it's worth check the performance of Eddie and Sean Bean, whom managed to engage their roles with a lot of emotion, realism, and truth.The soul of the film emanates from the tale of Pyramus and Thisbe witch are a pair of ill-fated lovers whose story forms part of Ovid's Metamorphoses. The story has since been retold by many authors.In Ovidian tale, Pyramus and Thisbe are two young lovers, unable to stay together for social issues, however the power of love makes they plan an escape to live together the rest of their lives. Thisbe planned with Pyramus that they would flee to a distant monument far from the city, Into the woods, called Ninu's Tomb, and there they would wait for the other and than flee together. Thisbe was the first to get there, and she was waiting for Pyramus until she saw a lioness with a bloody mouth, scared, she ran into a cave to hide, and on the trail dropped her veil. The lioness seeing the veil on the ground, laid with its mouth bloodied on it, smearing the veil with blood of a prey. Pyramus when reached the Ninu's Tomb moments later, didn't found Thisbe, but saw the footprints of the lioness and the bloody veil of Thisbe on the ground. When he found the veil, he believed that Thisbe was killed because of his late, and after crying over her veil, committed suicide.The film is exactly the tale of Pyramus and Thisbe with their intermediate characters, and a little modifications.In The Film:Pyramus and Thisbe are also separated by a social matter, Pyramus (Osmund) is a monk, and according to his votes could not fall in love with a woman (Thisbe - or Averill)Both plan to find in the woods, on a monument called Cross of the Martyrs in Dentwich forest, which symbolizes the Nilu's Tomb.Warriors on behalf of the Bishop are intermediates in history as well as the village and the Necromancer.When Osmund reaches the place where they planned to meet, also finds Averill veil bloodied, and footprints and marks of fight on the ground.Wild looters who attacked Averill symbolize the Leone.The suicide of Pyramus is symbolized with Osmund identity loss, which in the film has an uncertain end, but it is clear that it is no longer the same.A work that everyone should check out and enjoy the horrors of the Middle Ages, all the dirt, ignorance, lack of infrastructure, and dependence of the church in the existentialist ideal.The film makes clear how a misunderstood religion, whatever it is, causes terrible tragedies in which the protagonist is the man by itself.

Adam Peters (56%) A worthy for most cinema fans smallish produced period drama/horror that's perfectly well made, nicely shot, with a cast of quite big name stars. The plot is pretty basic stuff focused mainly around Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne playing a young monk in training, escorted by the perfectly cast Sean Bean to uncover the a mysterious village lead by the great Tim McInnerny. The plot heats up very nicely once the Christian and Pagan worlds collide, as this switches gear from action adventure into horror. Above all else this is an interesting sit that offers more than just plain and simple 14th century set blood and gore.
