The cinematography in this movie is amazing. When you first see death it is pretty creepy. Love the addition of chess in this movie. One of my favorites

Playing chess with Death

Ingmar Bergman's classic is still one of the pillars of 1950s cinema and one of the darkest movies you will ever see. Antonius Block (played by Max von Sydow) returns to his native Sweden during the Plague to realize that he is about to die when Death visits him. Antonius invites Death to a chess game hoping to outwit him. A commentary on religion and morality, it is one of the darkest movies I've seen, and lovers will also enjoy The Virgin Spring, another of Bergman's classics.
The 2nd disc is loaded with extras, including the excellent documentary, Bergman's Island.
Highly recommended.
