    Storyline

    Edit
    A 14th-century Crusader returns to a homeland devastated by the Black Plague. A beleaguered church, deeming sorcery the culprit of the plague, commands the two knights to transport an accused witch to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence. A priest, a grieving knight, a disgraced itinerant and a headstrong youth who can only dream of becoming a knight join a mission troubled by mythically hostile wilderness and fierce contention over the fate of the girl. When the embattled party arrives at the abbey, a horrific discovery jeopardises the knight's pledge to ensure the girl fair treatment, and pits them against an inexplicably powerful and destructive force. —Momentum Pictures

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Nicolas Cage was attracted to the project because he saw it as a tribute to the movies of Roger Corman from the 1960s, which invariably starred the likes of Sir Christopher Lee and Vincent Price. It was a real bonus for him to discover that Lee was to appear in this movie too.
    • Goofs
      When Felson fights the altar boy Kay he states "stand and fight like a man you little jackrabbit". The jackrabbit is indigenous to regions of North America not Europe so a crusader in medieval times would be unaware of them.

    Black Death, anyone ?
    In parts the plot reminds a disturbing lot of the really enjoyable and - again in parts - intelligent film " Black Death "(/title/tt1181791/), released last year...strangely enough no one seems to recognize that? It is not an unusual thing though for several movies of a certain period to cover similar topics but that sort of thing never becomes those that appear second or third in line. Since i always love Cage and Perlman there were no big negative surprises in store for me on the acting side, a decent effort, nothing out of the ordinary.. P.S.: If You want to see a "Christian" movie try the bible-school for kids or maybe Your local library on a Sunday, surely that kind of folly wasn't in the filmmakers' intentions.
