The Black Death is Catching On


To release in theatres all across the United Kingdom on February 26th, Black Death, from director Christopher Smith (Triangle, Severance), will not be available in North America until later in 2010. The film involves the dark arts, the undead, and of course love. Involving many themes,Black Death might be one horror picture to see in 2010, as Smith has a successful track record of producing quality film fare. A trailer will come this way soon, but for now have a look at the theatrical poster and synopsis below. Also, a movie still, courtesy of Horror Year Book, is inside.

A synopsis for Black Death right here!

"Medieval England has fallen under the shadow of the Black Death. In this apocalyptic world, filled with fear and superstition, a young monk called Osmund (Eddie Redmayne) is charged with leading a fearsome knight, Ulric (Sean Bean) and his group of mercenaries to a remote marsh. Their quest is to hunt down a necromancer - someone able to bring the dead back to life. Torn between his love of God and the love of a young woman, Osmund discovers the necromancer, a mysterious beauty called Langiva (Carice Van Houten). After Langiva reveals her Satanic identity and offers Osmund his heart's desire, the horror of his real journey begins (Horror)."
