Everything Action Theater: Black Angel
Showing before The Empire Strikes Back in certain locations in 1980, Black Angel was originally believed to be lost until the negatives were recently rediscovered and restored and director Roger Christian released it on youtube as the start of an IndieGoGo campaign to create a full length movie based on the short. The short film follows a knight who returns home to find his castle in ruins and the people either dead or infected by some sort of sickness. He sets out to find who did this and comes face to face with the horrifying Black Angel, a knight with seemingly dark supernatural powers. The movie version will star John Rhys-Davies and Rutger Hauer and you can check out the full, original short below.
