"In an age of darkness one man will face the ultimate battle against evil."

Boxlist takeExpect an otherworldly, morally murky horror film, heavy rather than light. Best if you like edge over warmth.

Synopsis

As the plague decimates medieval Europe, rumours circulate of a village immune from the plague. There is talk of a necromancer who leads the village and is able to raise the dead. A fearsome knight joined by a cohort of soldiers and a young monk are charged by the church to investigate. Their journey is filled with danger, but it's upon entering the village that their true horror begins.
