So, 'Black Death' is an intriguing piece of horror that runs just shy of the traditional feature length. It's got this eerie atmosphere that really pulls you in, reminiscent of those classic Sapphire and Steel tales. The film weaves the nursery rhyme in a unique way, reversing the text which adds layers of unsettling vibes. The pacing is deliberate—almost meditative, which heightens the tension. You can feel the weight of the pandemic subtly creeping into the narrative, a commentary on isolation and fear. Practical effects are employed effectively, giving it that gritty authenticity. The performances, while perhaps understated, carry a certain weight that resonates. It's a distinctive entry in the horror genre, with a clever twist on familiar folklore.
