While I personally thought that director Christopher Smith’s impeccable filmmaking run took a stumble with Triangle, he came right back on form with Sean Bean in his newest release, Black Death, which lands on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK in a scant couple of weeks courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Read on for the pack shots and trailer!

From the Press Release:
From director Christopher Smith (Triangle, Severance) and with an all star cast that includes Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings), Carice van Houten (Valkyrie), Eddie Redmayne (Elizabeth – Golden Age), David Warner (Planet of the Apes), and Tim McInnerny (Severance), Black Death (review here) is a terrifying odyssey into evil.

Medieval England has fallen under the shadow of the Black Death. In this apocalyptic world, filled with fear and suspicion, 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 who is able to bring the dead back to life. The dangers that they face as they set out are nothing compared to the horror that awaits them at their journey’s end…
