Laserblast

Director: Michael Rae Michael Rae

Overview

Billy (Kim Milford) has the same problems that many teens have to endure. His mother is inattentive, local cops target him for speeding tickets, his girlfriend's grandfather hates him, and teenaged bullies make fun of his van. Billy finds the keys to his emancipation in the desert, when he stumbles across a laser gun left behind by a pair of aliens. As he exacts revenge upon his unsuspecting tormentors, he becomes overwhelmed by the power of the gun and turns into a crazed, green-faced monster.

Editorial Reviews

Laserblast is 87 minutes of low-budget fun for those who don't take their sci-fi seriously. Originally marketed to capture some of the massive Star Wars audience (the film is mentioned several times, most memorably when Billy blows up a billboard advertising the runaway hit), Laserblast delivers ridiculous stop-motion aliens, space-age weaponry, dope-smoking policemen, and dozens of exploding cars. Fans of professional nerd Eddie Deezen will want to watch to see his most shrill, eye-popping performance ever as Froggy, one of the bullies who gets his comeuppance after attempting to rape Billy's girlfriend.
