Overview
As the plague decimates medieval Europe, rumours circulate of a village immune from the plague. There is talk of a necromancer who leads the village and is able to raise the dead. A fearsome knight joined by a cohort of soldiers and a young monk are charged by the church to investigate. Their journey is filled with danger, but it’s upon entering the village that their true horror begins.

Viewing Notes
Wasn’t what I expected but I still really enjoyed it. There were some nice, authentic historical touches (like the penitents who were flogging themselves in hopes that God would spare them from the plague) that added to the atmosphere for me.
The underlying messages about religion and belief took time to sink in. I kept finding myself thinking about the movie days after watching it.
