Eddie Redmayne stars as a medieval monk who guides Sean Bean's band of knights to a village left mysteriously untouched by the plague.

This grisly British histori-horror from Christopher Smith (Severance, Triangle) may be a touch too reminiscent of Monty Python's Holy Grail, but it should please fans of The Wicker Man, Witchfinder General, and various Hammer films. No instrument of torture is left unused.
