Black Death was developed and produced by Douglas Rae and Robert Bernstein at London’s Ecosse Films, with Phil Robertson of Zephyr Films acting as physical producer. A UK-German co-production, the film was financed solely out of Germany, with Jens Meurer of Egoli Tossell Films acting as German co-producer.

The film was originally due to be directed by Geoffrey Sax, with Rupert Friend and Lena Headey attached to star. Famke Janssen was later considered for Headey’s role.

The film was shot in the German federal state of Saxony-Anhalt at Palace Blankenburg in the city of Blankenburg and Castle Querfurt in Querfurt and Zehdenick, Brandenburg in the first half of 2009. Van Houten’s first day on set was 14 May 2009. Technical elements included production design by John Frankish, a spartan score by composer Christian Henson, and desaturated lensing by director of photography Sebastian Edschmid.

Christopher Smith’s work in the horror genre includes 2009’s Triangle, Severance for Magnolia Pictures, and Creep for Lionsgate.

He explained his approach to the film:
It’s a ‘medieval guys on a mission’ movie. The period of the black death – what’s fantastical and rich about that period? I said, ‘What if we took a realistic approach?’ The people of the time believe the plague was sent by God to punish them for their sins, or by the Devil to torment them. I wanted to find out what the characters felt and posit them on a journey of ‘is it real? Or is it not real?’ What would a necromancer be like if he existed? We added this fundamentalist knight, so it touches on fundamentalism. It’s a super dark film but it’s exciting. It’s like a dark parable about how things haven’t really moved on in the last 600 years.
