Laserblast 1978 PG, 85 min.
Genre: Sci-Fi
Director: Michael Rae
Cast: Kim Milford, Cheryl Smith, Gianni Russo, Ron Masak, Dennis Burkley, Barry Cutler, Keenan Wynn, Mike Bobenko, Roddy McDowall, Eddie Deezen
A laser gun was left behind in the California desert by aliens after they killed one of their own. Along comes Billy (Kim Milford), a teen who is routinely bullied; he takes the gun, mutates as an alien creature, and goes on a murderous rampage. Low budget and poorly acted, but still a little bit of fun as another film tries to capture Star Wars audiences.
