Black Death
(login to rate)
Set in 14th century England at the onset of the Bubonic Plague, BLACK DEATH gruesomely depicts not only the unmerciful destruction by the disease, but also the disturbing effects it had on religious beliefs and practices. Osmund is a young monk who is torn between his duty to God and his overwhelming desire to flee the infected city. He prays to God for guidance and is answered when he is chosen to lead a group of renegade bounty hunters into the same forest where his love Averill awaits him. Yet the journey proves more dangerous than he originally thought. He learns that they are headed towards a village of savages who are rumored to have cast God aside and have avoided the Plague through use of witchcraft. After hearing of their demonic sacrifices and necromancy, Ulric, the gallant head of the group, and his men are determined to destroy this village and bring their leaders to justice. But when they arrive to the notorious marsh these derelicts call home, nothing is as it seems. The people here are eerily calm and welcoming, led by the beautiful, ethereal Langiva. Although Ulric and his men are ready for battle, unwilling to let their guard down, Osmund struggles to decide whether their mission is truly a holy one whose purpose is to destroy evil or an unjust vendetta against an innocent people. BLACK DEATH is a mysterious, dark story of brutal torture, death, and religious persecution with a haunting insight into the history of this period. – M.M.
