I watched this after watching Smith's previous movie Triangle, and this is another really good film. It's not really about the plague so much as it is about religious and superstitious beliefs in the Middle Ages.

I was very disappointed in this. The concept was great, and Sean Bean is always excellent, but the execution was incredibly poor.

I liked it... Liked the story, liked the characters, liked how the priest when through hell...
