    Needle in a Haystack
    Hi, I need some 'serious' help with a film, which I think is an 80's one, I've being trying to track it down... since well, God was a boy!

    The story goes something like this: a young boy/teenager gains special powers - with his EYES - after conducting a science/laboratory experiment. He now has the ability to move objects with his eyes, including humans, cool! I can kind of remember a young Andrew Macarthy/John Cussack making a cameo appearance near the end but I've checked out their history and I've had no luck in that department.

    I was no more than 7 or 8 years old when I first saw it (mid 80's) and even now, after all these years, I can recall those unforgettable childhood feelings that I used to get every time I watched it.
    I have never given-up hope of finding out the title of the film, and I think stumbling across this site will finally end my twenty-year old quest to discover the name of this elusive film.

    Finally, the only other info I can provide is that it's based around the boy's high school/college life, I think, that's it I'm afraid.
    Please if any one in this world (or any other) can help me I will be eternally grateful.
    Thank you, Loucas

    The movie is "Zapped". It was one of my favorites too.
