Christopher Smith’s new period horror-show BLACK DEATH has never looked cooler or more brutal than in a new red-band trailer Hulu has just premiered for the flick. Bleak, bloody and downright disturbing…we’d be pretty f*ckin’ shocked if the other upcoming Bubonic plague flick, SEASON OF THE WITCH, ends up being a superior film. The latter does have Nic Cage going for it though, so that’s nice! Check out the new restricted look underneath and tell us what you think!
From the pen of Dario Poloni, BLACK DEATH finds:
Sean Bean starring as Ulric, a grim emissary from the Church, who leads a young monk (Eddie Redmayne) and a band of violent vigilantes and war veterans through the English countryside. Armed with blood-chilling torture devices, their mission is to stamp out suspected paganism in a village that remains untouched by the black plague, even as the rest of Europe grimly succumbs to the pestilence.
Carice van Houten (below), David Warner, Kimberley Nixon, David Masterson, Andy Nyman, Tim McInnerny, John Lynch, Johnny Harris, Marianne Graffam and Emun Elliot all play a vital role in the flick.
BLACK DEATH sweeps through theaters March 11th.
