When I first saw the trailer for Black Death I was ecstatic. A horror movie starring one of my favorite actors of all time: Sean Bean! I expected witchcraft, demons, zombies, and lots of serious Boromir style acting. What I got was very different.

    From the very beginning this is a very dark, very heavy movie. Set in Medieval England, at the start of the Bubonic plague, death is a theme from the very beginning. This story follows the journey of young Osmond (Eddie Redmayne), a novice monk having a crisis of faith. In love
