Review of Black Plague

Black Plague (2002 Video)
4/10
Dull and confusing
27 September 2019
It makes sense, like some other reviewer said, that this movie was only released on dvd to cash in on the GoT hype. Juding by he cover of the dvd, this was exaclty the case.

To me, judging by the cover, I expected a horror movie.. I quickly found out it wasn't. Not really a big deal, I loved Name of the Rose, so if it was a medieval thriller, I would be okay with it. Well, I still don't know what it is. Either way, it failed miserably.

The movie takes place somewhere around 1348, just after the plague arrived in Europe. A group of English soldiers return from war in France and with hem a French prisoner. Soon after, people die under mysterious circumstances and the Frenchman may not be who he claims to be.

Sounds exciting ? Yes. Is it ? Heck no. The movie very slow paced, confusing and just downright boring. Very few scenes make any sense. For example, there is this scene where this idiot with the whistle in his mouth attempts to murder the Frenchman, gets caught when the lady walks in and quickly disappears. And gues what ? The lady doesn't even aks wtf he's doing there, as if she doesnt care ? WTF is up with that ?The costumes and settings were okay, but that's it.
