Crusaders transport a suspected witch across a plague-ridden land, battling dark forces and their own grim humor.
Pulpy and suspenseful, with dark satire. A full-attention watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Prime Video, Hulu, Kanopy (free), The Roku Channel (free), Fandango at Home (free), Pluto TV (free) and 3 more.
For a PG-13, this one goes further: graphic gore. Beyond that, no sex or nudity and mild language.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the PG-13 suggests, because of the gore.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
A 14th century Crusader returns with his comrade to a homeland devastated by the Black Plague. The Church commands the two knights to transport a witch to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence.
It leaves the ending open to interpretation.
