Laserblast

In this ill-made, low-budget exploitation movie a miserable teenager finds in the desert an amulet and a laser left by Aliens. The amulet makes his eyes glow red; taken over by the alien persona, he revenges himself with the laser Weapon on people who pick on him, also exploding many cars and a Star Wars poster before the returning aliens get him.
