“Black Shadows” (0 out of four) was an embarrassingly awful and unwatchable urban thriller hodgepodge about three separate stories of intersecting characters (Ayla Thompson, Michael Habibeh, Oscar Porter, and others) and their various dark fates as they try to outsmart one another and figure out whose playing who. Each story is worse than the next and in this case- less really would have been more. Film mashes your face in numbing ugliness and sleaze and looks like someone’s bad cell-phone footage. Avoid like COVID.
