Black Plague (2002 Video)
7/10
overlooked flick
19 May 2014
I never heard of this flick and being released nowadays, almost 16 year after it was shot it does mean a thing. It must be bad, isn't it? Shot in 2002 it stayed for 3 years on the shelves before it was finally released but even then it was failure. The reason it came out in 2014 under the new title Black Plague do had a reason. Pick up the DVD or Blu Ray and just have a close look. Lena Headey is sitting on a throne. Does it ring a bell? Sure, it looks like Game Of Thrones. And they are picking in on the success of that series. The cover of the DVD is never seen in this flick.

But don't get me wrong. Mostly it's a bad sign but this flick do offer a few things. It shows Lena as the main lead and is showing what she can do. It's clear that she was ready to move on to bigger projects. Further the look of this flick do show how people lived in the Dark Ages just before the plague entered Europe. Just look how they lived, how they looked, look at their teeth. Look how religion is important. And it do has a good story. The only nudity comes from soldiers standing naked who are controlled by a doctor looking for signs of the plague. Even as the plague enters England there's more going on. Not bad at all.
