Review of Laserblast (1978) by John M — 06 Apr 2015
Surprisingly structured, with a proper plot and actual characters, this infamous Charles Band production isn't quite as bad as you might think. Trouble is, that's precisely why it's impossible to watch without falling asleep.
Regularly cited as one of the worst movies ever made, Laserblast is a confused jumble of sounds and images each representing the late 1970s at its very worst. The plot follows an androgynous teen nerd named Billy who finds a laser gun in the desert and uses it to blast bullies.
Highlights include squeaky stop-motion aliens, confused cops and a love scene with extreme XXL lip and fingernail closeups. Bad points include every other aspect of the entire movie. Visually, narratively and aurally exhausting.
