Black Death (2010)
expresso 4 points 4 years ago.

This is an overlooked and underrated movie carried by a surprisingly great cast - Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Carice van Houten, well-written and acted and some nice unexpected twists. A good watch if you like medieval / good and evil / supernatural stories. 8/10

The swamp setting for the village seems like a fantasy setting but inot a complete fabrication - King Alfred and his court were forced to go into hiding in the marshes of Somerset until they could rebuild forces and face the Vikings and Danes of the ‘Great Heathen Army’ at the Battle of Edington. Check out The Last Kingdom series :)
