Don't watch this.
When I was 16, I saw some ads for a movie called Laserblast, a film now best known forthe screen debut of Eddie Deezen and it's showing as the season 7 finale of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
It came out in the Summer of 1978, and I had just turned 16 at the time, and for some reason, I really wanted to see it.
It was clearly a B-Movie, but something appealed to me.
It was out of the only theater that it was playing at in Portland, Oregon in a week, so I never saw it, until now.
I was stationary bicycling and I got motion sickness.
It is really, REALLY, bad.
It's not the production values, they are what is to be expected from a 1970s Sci-Fi exploitation film, and the acting, which, while not stellar, is again about what is to be expected from 1970s Sci-Fi exploitation film, but the scripting and plotting is the worst that I have ever seen, and I've seen Plan 9 From Outer Space.
The plot was completely incoherent and the dialog was laughable.
The fact that I spent over 40 years regretting not having seen it is pathetic.
To quote Roger Ebert, ""I hated this movie, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated this movie, hated it. Hated every simpering, stupid, vacant audience insulting moment of it."
