Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Black Death is a 2010 movie from Christopher Smith (director of Creep (2004), Severance (2006) and Triangle), starring Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne and Carice Van Houten.In 1348, the Bubonic Plague sweeps through England. Frightened, many people blame witches or their own sins. Osmund, a novice in a monastery, volunteers to guide knight Ulric and his men to investigate a village which has suspiciously managed to avoid the plague. What the knights do not know is that Osmund volunteered to have a chance to see his girl.One of the primary themes of the film is total uncertainty with how one interacts with the world, abounding with cases of Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane. The whispers in the woods may be demons, or they may be highwaymen. The village witch may be in league with Satan, or she may just know how to brew poisons. The town may be warded, or it may just be isolated. The plague may target the unrighteous first, or everyone may be damned together.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Black Death / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: During the film’s closing moments, we see an older, embittered Osmund still hunting the witch years after the events of the main story. He comes across numerous women and sees her face in them, ordering these seemingly innocent women to be horrifically tortured before being executed. It’s not clear if the witch cast a spell on him, causing him to see her when it isn’t her or if he has simply been driven mad by grief and rage and is simply delusional. | |

Anachronism Stew: The year is clearly stated to be 1348, which makes several things out of place:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Affably Evil | |
| Black Death / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: Langiva remains calm and polite, even when presiding over death and torture. Of course, thanks to the Grey-and-Grey Morality, she may not be considered straightforwardly "evil" either. | |

All for Nothing | |
| Black Death / int_aed65980 | comment |
All for Nothing: How you could interpret the mission to apprehend the necromancer. There was no necromancer and Langiva likely wasn’t a real witch, just a clever woman gifted in the use of herbs who ultimately escapes. Numerous men die and Osmund becomes a vengeance seeking inquisitor/torturer because what they thought was magic was probably just luck on part of the village. You could interpret the ultimate fate of the village as this was well. They followed Langiva because her supposed magic protected them from the plague, committing numerous atrocities to hide themselves from the wider world. It all was ultimately worthless as the plague ended up reaching and devastating them as it did so many others before them. | |
