Rayon laser

I actually saw this in the theater when it came out. After all these years, I can still say it is the worst movie I have ever seen. And I LIKE campy, cheesy B-Movies! Look out Kraft; you are not the cheesiest. If you think the special effects are bad because the movie is old, think again. Sitting in the movie theater in 1978 my friend and I both thought the effects were the worst we'd ever seen. And the acting. And the plot(?). The filmography sucks. It's not even interesting like a train wreck. It's about as interesting as watching sidewalks crack. Without ants. At night. No moon.

I could go on, but I've already put more creativity into this review than the movie had. And I'm not creative.

I'd give it negative stars if possible. Ten black holes. I had to give it a one though, and that hurt.

Bad movie. Anguishly bad. I still want my money back.

A teenager (Kim Milford) stumbles upon an alien weapon, which transform him into a grotesque killer.

I would love to say nice things about this, given the appearance of Roddy McDowall and such decent effects work from Randall Cook ("The Gate"). But the acting, plot and directing is just so poor that nothing could really save this.

Most people who have seen this probably saw it through "Mystery Science Theater 3000", and that is for the best. They not only do a great job, but this is among their funniest episodes. I would love to know if Leonard Maltin has ever rescinded his 2 1/2 stars...

Teenagers just want to have a little innocent fun, so when one of them comes across and alien weapon, he tries it out on a few people who aren't cool. This excites The Man, who want kids to be miserable.

There's some nice stop-motion animation by Harry Walton, who seems to have come up with E.T. before Steven Spielberg thought of it. The other effects are a bit cheesier. Keenan Wynn does no favor to his long career of more than 140 features by appearing in this one.

I swear every time I see that Star Wars billboard get blown up I almost wet myself. What more can you ask of cheap Sci-Fi than Laserblast? Granted it doesn't have that 50's kitch like Angry Red Planet, but it WAS the 70's. Personally I love and own this film. If you can see the true beauty in astoundingly bad film making, then you should see Laserblast. I mean one character gets mutated into a green laser-blasting monster by a salt shaker he wears around his neck!! and there's bad stop-action aliens!! YES! it took 2 guys to write it!!! 2!!! and they called it LASERBLAST!

I think if you consider the general aesthetic of the seventies, you will see that this is the ULTIMATE 70's movie. I regret never seeing it at a drive in.

Unless they're given by Leonard Maltin. What was he thinking? This terrible movie has everything against it: Unlikeable characters, bad acting, laughable special effects, and virtually no plot. Only Roddy McDowall's presence and the stop-motion aliens save the movie from a big fat bomb. This was a 1 star movie at best. Shame on you, Mr. Maltin.
