inulroI hadn't heard of this, but the Radio Times made it sound like something I'd like.
It's 1348, the Black Death is ravaging England, and "the bishop" has sent some veterans of Crecy to find a remote village that the plague hasn't reached, to find the necromancer responsible for keeping the plague at bay. They stop at a monastery on the edge of the swamp to collect a young monk as their local guide.
What follows is fairly predictable, but there's a twist at the end. Not great film-making, but enjoyable enough and apparently made on an absolute shoestring (though Sean Bean stars so it can't have been *that* cheap) - very impressive if the budget was actually that tight.
