Severance director Christopher Smith paints a grim look across his face for the medieval mystery thriller Black Death.
Going into this film I was expecting something historically inaccurate in unforgiving ways and large setpieces that offer nothing more than an explosive CGI death. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised with a rather intimate film that never resorts to large choral battle scenes or tragic hero melodrama. It allows you to explore your own morals and questions that leave neither the Christians or the pagans looking the "good guys".
