Reading about Laserblast [1978] in my Halliwell's Film Guide stationed in the khazi I was excited about mention of many cereal-packet style model spacecraft. So from the bog to the blog I did a little research.
Alas, my laser-zest faded when I scanned the only copy I could find on You Tube, the Mystery Science Thearte 3K version. Skimming through the whole 90 minutes I could see just one spaceship, which was not a breakfast cereal model. I was gutted.
Laserblast appears to be a sort of bullied-kid-finds-alien-blaster-and-seeks-revenge sort of flick. Every review I have read describes it as a lame, trashy, cheapo turkey and just plain bad.
The only positive comment I could find was about the stop motion aliens, which look like a cross between the Eraserhead baby and ET.
Amazingly it has a really sizable page on Wikipedia, which suggests some Laserblast love somewhere.
Usually I will give a film a whirl but the sheer number of moans about Laserblast have put me off.
Should I bother to watch it readers?
