Black Death - 2010 ****

Not a bad movie at all. Sean Bean playing the all too familiar character who, like in L.O.T.R verges on both good and bad sides of his conscience.

Enlisting the help of a group of his mercenaries, Bean goes with Osmund, an innocent but well-meaning monk to the only area that has been untouched by the Black Death. Going there, the group hope to find the only being who is rumoured to be able to bring people back from the dead, but what they find is something much worse.

The film is dark, eerie and somewhat gruesome, but it's definately worth watching, and brings the terror of the 14th Century plague to life (I'm not sure whether that's a good thing!) as well as showing some excellent acting from Sean Bean.

Certainly makes me want to watch more historical films.
