Historical films tend to be romantic costume dramas or sweeps of war, thinking something, a film appears that dares to do something different and assume a time when studies are afraid to adopt. That is the case with Black Death, a surprise transmission hit in Max, not only establishes the height of the plague, but is a darker and more sandy version of medieval life of what we are used to seeing. Nor is it a drama of costumes or a history of kings. Instead, it is a horror movie of historical action, and there is nothing more like this.
Medieval men on a mission
Black Death Follow a group of defeated soldiers (including Sean Bean) and a neophyte monk (Eddie Redmayne) while walking towards a remote village that the disease has not touched. I thought desperate to find a cure, the real mission is to knock down a nigromante using dark magic that has hasHitchada the people and could be the source of the plague. The trip to the town is not only dangerous and deadly, but also shoots magnificently with all the signs of death, decomposition and rot that embody the time, but rarely represented on the screen.
Once they arrive at the village, the group meets its leaders, Hob (the incredible prolific Tim Mcinnerny) and the alleged nigroming, the beautiful lavigna (game of Thrones Red priestess, Carice Van Houten), who performs a miracle against the monk, testing her faith. Together, the couple receives one on the soldiers, and Black Death They enter a horrible horror with a lot of gore. In the end, the spectators will join the soldiers while asking how much it is real and if the devil is among the villagers.
Black death is the correct type of recoil
With very few CGI effects, Black Death It seems and feels like a horror of the 70 years with the count of bodies to coincide. Directed by Christopher Smith, who also directed the underestimated time flexion thriller TriangleThe film took full advantage of its modest budget when filming in rural Germany. Although he never reached cinemas in the United States, the film immediately found fans online, and today has a 72 percent rating of Rotten Tomatoes of critics, and 49 percent of fans, which may sound like a negative, but this is a brave film that is not afraid to take large swings and push the envelope: it is not for everyone, and it does not try to be.
Over the years, Black Death He has silently accumulated a worship follow -up, partial due to the growing popularity of Eddie Redmayne, Sean Bean and Carice Van Houten, but also because of their unique visual style and disturbing history. Now is another transmission success in Max and attracts more eyeballs than films that cost four more times to produce, which demonstrates that quality can still win at the end. If you have never been this unique medieval movie, and you think Saw is for children, you owe yourself to experience the dark world and full of sandy where life is brutal, short and UGy.
Black Death Now he is transmitting in Max.
