Black Death

BLACK DEATH (2010) - April 11, 2012
A well made film, set during the time of the plague, about a young monk who joins a group of religious soldiers on a mission to find a village said to be untouched by the plague.  It's quite well directed by Christopher Smith, and has some really interesting things to say about the role of religion in society, and what fanaticism can do to people.  It kind of drags a bit towards the end, but it has a really memorable finale that definitely concludes the film on a high note.  ***
