70s or early 80s I think. Takes place in a coastal town in San Juan County. Has a scientist-father trying to hide the fact that his two blonde kids(one by and one girl) have psychic powers. There is a confrontation with a biker gang at their home and the father is attacked and {I think) killed. New deputy in town gets involved. Help? ---

That has some similarities to [Escape to Witch Mountain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_to_Witch_Mountain_(1975_film)). The story doesn’t match exactly, though. Here’s a snip of it, in case you recognize the kids: [Escape to Witch Mountain 1975 Preview - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVfmdOuRMD0) ---

It is not ETWM. This one is more of a cheap horror movie, with a bit of gratuitous partial nudity. ---

I found this [snippet of the movie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCQK2YK3QZY), and “bad” doesn’t begin to cover it. “Last night I saw a movie on TV??” WTF? ---

Well, the movie just ended…and by that I mean that it just _ended_ abruptly in the middle of a scene where the Bobbsey Twins from Hell are being asked questions by the deputy. Either they ran out of ideas, or they ran out of budget, or both. ---
