Black Angel (1980)
1/10
Absolute waste of time
4 June 2015
The film is available on Youtube (legally) for free. Just go there and search for Black Angel.

This is one of the worst short movies I've seen. For something 20 minutes long, it manages to include an awful lot of time wasting.

It starts with a 5+ minute "intro" where nothing happens as the film follows some benign horse ride. I found myself skipping ahead trying to work out where the actual story begins, or what little there is of it.

The fight scenes are atrocious. They include repeating footage (and this is a SHORT!) and the kind of hammy choreography that William Shatner would have been proud of back in the day. Whilst Star Trek had a more fun outlook for context, this piece is trying to be serious so it's just cringeworthy.

The story itself is not worth much. It is barely enough for a short film. This has not aged well and I'm amazed anybody can watch it back and say that it is either thought provoking or entertaining or anything.

Don't waste your time.
