79 I was just returning to the US from 6 years in the US ARMY. It wasn't the same US I left, re-enlisted and did 15 more years. Mostly overseas, pretty upset at what we've become in 2024. It's great that we can watch these movies now
Why does the US army just stay at home? Stop these endless wars with countries that are inferior to you? Spend the mon 4:27 ey at home on your crumbling infrastructure! I despair about America.
I saw this movie when I was a kid. The first time I saw it on Tv with my cousins and it was so out there that I thought I dreamt it. Then a few years later I caught it on a black and white TV and knew it was a film. But each time I caught it about 15 minutes into the film and never knew the name. No one knew the film and everyone I’ve ever asked thought it didn’t exist. I’ve literally spent 40 years asking about this film. Even with the internet I couldn’t find it. (I would search for “little alien visits kid” or “small ufo attacks house” or “small ufo flies through house” and nothing. At least twice a year I would search through TH-cam’s free movies for this (just randomly fast forwarding through 70’s films with a six do or alien theme). Many many thanks for uploading this movie and ending my search!!!
Somehow it reminds me a little bit of the movie Ice Planet, also on yt. It is newer and more complex movie but it is so worth it !! I've seen many sci fi movies with aliens but ice planet is indeed one of the best out there.
I know the feeling. I had the same exact experience with the movie Zardoz with Sean Connery. I just remembered images of a flying head as a kid and never could figure it out until recently.
@@urbanplanner7200I came upon this film because I was watching the podcast of the original writer/conceived of the film: Steve Neill. He is a real life alien abductee/experiencer and has his own show on you tube where he interviews experiencers. Otherwise, I’d never seen or heard of this film. So I’m coming to it now, almost in reverse. If you watch this film keeping in mind the real life experiences of Steve Neill then you won’t see it as kitsch/camp and yet you’ll see it as an exploration of what he was going through since his own childhood. In the 1970s there was a great sweep of alien abductions, cattle mutilations and ufo contact events. Many film directors, Rock musicians and artists picked up on what was going on which is why you see those themes reflected in the art of the time. There was so much public interest at the time in ufos and ETs. You have to watch this film from a surrealist perspective to understand it’s deeper meanings and not just heap it into the camp/kitsch dumpster of cinema and tv history (which is what people always do when they don’t understand something) otherwise you miss a lot of the truths.
I am 63 and this movie is exciting and awesome to see because in my preteen to teens this was all new to me. I could not figure how tv, radio, video reels, cameras, lights or how anything worked, just the excitement of it all. ❤❤❤❤❤
The Day Time Ended 80 minutes of my life, or tried to. It is quite remarkable, that 10K viewers clicked thumbs up! Must be a nostalgia thing, but I'm glad I didn't waste so much time in 1979.
I have an special place in my heart for this movie!!!! I used to spent hours and hours in front of my crt....looking for movie like this. I went to the movie theater in 1982...to watch it!!!!❤😢
@@backwardsmovietrailers7844 Second best is having endless movies like this on the internet. I never dreamed years ago that I could watch all these movies at home. Was trying to think what theater I watched Star Wars in. I remember the experience well, and the theater was full. Probably the building is long, long gone.
Note: the audio gets out of sync on the default US English soundtrack, but if you select UK English (weird why it even exists, it's the same audio) it's fine. Someone should perhaps pin a comment about this.
Without a doubt the silliest Sci fi movie i've ever seen poor plot ,poor acting poor special effects, poor everything . So bad it's the only movie I've stopped watching ,Ever.
I absolutely love that barn. Those beautiful new chewy tasty boards would definitely have to be replaced often. My horse would have those gates open in a heartbeat and he would have every saddle pulled in the stall with him. The set designers have never owned a horse.
As the most natural scenes, I assumed their horsemanship was the entire purpose of the movie. Surely not the hamster sized aliens or their shoebox sized spacecraft.
@@ArizonaJoeHines "Letterboxing" was how wide-screen movies were sometimes shown on the old CRT TV screens, with black bars at the top and bottom. The alternative was "pan and scan," showing only part of the image and cutting it off on the sides. This presentation of "The Day Time Ended" is what film geeks call OAR (original aspect ratio).
Beautiful movie! 😊 I loved everything! The music, the family, it being a 70s Sci fi film, and them living in the desert. I lived in the desert about this time and I was Jenny's age and I'm a Jenny too! ❤
Great movie worth a remake or simply a continuation since it leaves all wanting to know what happens next. A great display of effects and suspense editing with no explanations to spoil the unknown. Wish more science fiction was like this.
Half expecting Larry Hagman/J.R. Ewing, to pop out of the the U.F.O. and say to Jim Davis's character "Daddy, it's time we go back to Southfork, to deal with those other aliens, the damn Barnes's." LOL
It was the second movie of Paul W. Gentry, the Special Effects Director. He would end up working in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Robocop 2, and Total Recall, among other movies, that means he made it to the big leagues after this movie
@@juliopacio612 Cool. I wonder if he is still alive if he is still making movies with traditional practical effects or sold out to the CGI false gods like so many today have.
From IMDB that's actually not that bad, that site is Highly critical of Everything, they give movies that deserve 10 a 6.. I pay ZERO attention to IMDB ratings.. It gets 6.4 or (64%) on Google ratings, Google ratings are more realistic imo
I appreciated that alien monsters have more manners than some humans and sense of humour. Even that they could break the house in two with a finger, they knock on the door and then they scare the s* out of the residents when they open it... :D
Taking into account overall inflation over that 45 year period, gas prices would expected to be $3.60/gal, which is slightly higher than the average price currently.
I liked this when it first was on TV. It was pretty weird for a Made for TV Movie. There is a large variety of special effects in this considering its for a TV movie with a smaller budget. They were ambitious if nothing else. That impressed me. I later found out that this is like a pilot movie for what they hoped would be picked up as a TV show. Thats the reason the ending is up in the air. The TV show would continue the adventure. But it was not to be and Jim Davis died soon after anyways.
Made-for-TV movies from this era are easy to spot, as they're pretty much always 4:3. This was planned as a theatrical release (hence the widescreen), but IMDB says it ended up as an early example of straight-to-video. Other sources say it had limited release in theaters, But it definitely has that low budget made-for-TV vibe!!
@@JB-- I viewed it on TV back then and assumed it was a Made for TV movie. It was in the time slot that usually had those. But as I said it stood out for its production values compared to the usual tripe.
@@JB-- It definitely played in at least one Los Angeles theatre and was reviewed by at least one Los Angeles newspaper. I know this because l saw an advertisement for the film and read the review when l was going through old microfilms of one of the major LA papers.
A watchable sequence of events happening to a wholesome family driven by no plot or clue by the writer as to what makes a story. Pointless loss of viewer’s lifespan but painless.
We’re like the same age ha. Yeah this is to modern sci-fi movies what Atari was to modern gaming. Or like Dr Who. This is low budget but still tells the story well.
This is the best color-formatted version that I've seen on the internet, good job. With these old colorized versions of earlier movies, trying to match them to digitalized format, is never perfect, thanks for posting this classic, SciFi !!!
Jim Davis (grant). Roles in TV westerns. Became famous as jock Ewing in Dallas. Chris mitchum (richard) second son of Robert Mitchum. Marcey lafferty ( beth), married william shatner 73 to 96. Natasha ryan ( jenny), age 53, roles in a few films. Scott Kolden (steve), best known for his disney film roles. Roberto Contreras (gas station attendant), 40 yrs in film inc High Chaparral as Pedro. Scarface. Magnificent 7. The professionals.
And don't forget the beautiful Dorothy Malone, the mom. She did mostly b movies and westerns but played also in The Big Sleep. Sadly passed away in a Dallas nursing home in 2018, at 93 of natural causes.
Oh my, aliens creatures from another planet are fighting to the death......and ........only a few feet away, horses are quietly standing without a care in the world.........
This is what always happened in the 70,s whenever you built a stupid looking house out in the desert and then proceeded to eat every little cactus button you could find. Wow can't believe any of us survived .
what a gem - thanks for posting🤩 makes me think of movies like The Lathe of Heaven, and shows like Ark II. and books written about aliens from that time . The soundtrack was really good also🤩
I was only curious about Dorothy Malone - she was 55, here, and looking good - but I watched the whole film. Quite nice! If you can bear seeing actors without holding cellphones to their ears all the time.
Charles Band has been involved with quite a few decent movies. Most notably Re-animator, From Beyond, Ghoulies and the Puppet Master series.Lots of others as well.
There were a lot of really terrible movies in the 1970’s and this is one of them. I saw back then and it was bad, but now it’s worse, much much worse than when I saw it in 79.
I liked the concept, the release date and the picture quality. It is now straight into my 'To watch' list, now I need to prepare for my next weekend with bag of chips and set my projector ready. I mean 'Thank you my dear for the upload'!
Это первый американский фильм в моей жизни (I'm 61), где не сделано ни одного выстрела, и побеждает простая детская уверенность в добре. Это так по-русски!
Когда ребёнок говорит,что что-то видел или слышал, описывая мельчайшие детали,нужно ему верить,а не думать,что это детские фантазии. У детей нет богатого жизненного опыта,чтоб придумать нечто. Ребёнок может описать лишь то,что увидел и что отложилось у него в памяти. Хорошо что здесь были адекватные родители,пошли посмотреть,а не стали говорить девочке,что это её фантазии. Для тех лет фильм снят очень круто.
Lol… Had to be rich to afford solar in 1979 as a 100 W panel was over $3000. Mostly used for satellites and powering equipment in remote film shooting locations
I know this was riffed in the reboot of MST3K but I really wish Rifftrax would tackle this one. Great classic of a low budget sci-fi film. They tried, it didn't turn out so well, but I love it.
Chris Mitchum was longtime movie star Robert Mitchum. Chris was in a lot of Westerns, including two with John Wayne. I had stopped watching movies in 1979 so I missed this one. Thanks for showing it!
Lesson learnt here seems to be - if you take a lot of pyschedelic drugs you don't necessarily produce good sci-fi movies . But you can freak people out.
Despite carrying this SciFi label, with or without 'some horror', it clearly was produced as a typical kid/teenage adventure film. Those always had hero kids + grandpas around :-)
This came out two years after Close Encounters, and looks like they wanted to capitalize on that movie. I like this story and actors. Sci-fi was getting popular by the mid 70's: A Boy and his Dog and Roller Ball in 1975, Logan's Run in 1976, Close encounters, Damnation Alley and Star Wars in 1977.
I never understood why directors dressed people as if it was an east coast autumn in LA. Those people must have been boiling hot in those get ups at the beginning of the movie.
I was scrolling through the comments to see if the problem was on my end, but you apparently have the same problem; the audio gets more out of sync as the movie proceeds. I'm halfway through and the delay is over three seconds now. Too bad, because it is indeed a very nice quality image. Update: it turns out there is more than one English language audio track you can select. If you switch to 'UK English' (which is the exact same audio, it's weird) the audio is perfectly in sync.
Growing up in the 60's and 70's, I appreciate the cars in this movie. Those non plastic cars were great. I learned to drive on V-8 engine cars that had real get up and go. Not these tin cans with rubber band motors like today. Now for the flippant comments. Here's Johnny!!!
12:30 I miss my 1978 Subaru 4wd station wagon. Mine was blue. I used to pass Cherokees in deep snow. They were always nicer to change a flat since the spare tire was stored on top of the engine.
Guess you didn't have a ski boat or anything you needed a trailer hitch for! Out here in the West, if your 'rig' wasn't an F150 or Suburban, people thought you were one of them danged 'yuppies'!! You're not one of them, are you??
@@roberthevern6169 I could pull all the trailer I needed. I'm not a big boat person. I had a jon boat and I could put my Suzuki RV90 on a trailer and go up to the dunes in Northern Michigan from my house in Columbus. I did live in Hollywood for five years and went to Musicians Institute. As far as being a yuppie, no I saw through all of that. I was born in '65. I have no use for the idiots who blew with the wind through the 70's and suddenly went corporate in the 80's right when I was ready to be an adult and have to kiss their butts. lol And suddenly it's the 2020's and they're senile selves are blowing in the wind again and frigging having some overwhelming need to rewrite history and say lets give it all away, everyone matters except those thieves 400 years ago...and so now they're appeased and then they can die happy. Well screw that man. I WANT MY SUBARU BACK! lol
I used to see those old Subarus in North Idaho. The roads are salted during the winter. Rather than subjecting their nicer cars to that, they commuted to work in their "beater with a heater".
It was unfocused, had lots of dangling plot elements and lacked a story but surprisingly didn’t suck. The effects and art were remarkably good particular for the 1970s and, what otherwise appeared to be, a small budget.
79 I was just returning to the US from 6 years in the US ARMY. It wasn't the same US I left, re-enlisted and did 15 more years. Mostly overseas, pretty upset at what we've become in 2024. It's great that we can watch these movies now

You can tell Davis, Malone and Mitchum are old pros on horseback. There's an ease in their bodies that shows experience.
See if you can guess which one is on muscle relaxers for that 'ease-of-body' look!
You are correct. Voice/film out of sync. Hard to watch.
These guys were part of the Hollywood/ John Wayne Western crowd. Go watch "Big Jake" (1971).
Having stunt doubles helps also.
As the most natural scenes, I assumed their horsemanship was the entire purpose of the movie. Surely not the hamster sized aliens or their shoebox sized spacecraft.
An all time camp/kitsch classic. As well as a good example of the kind of offbeat films that were produced in the 70s and 80s on moderate budgets.

@@jessiedoggie1 thanks for spotting my mistake.
@@jessiedoggie1 thanks. Mistake rectified.
Ну актёры никакие играют как куклы
Yes, Jock Ewing. I knew I recognised him from something. Thanks.
And don't forget the beautiful Dorothy Malone, the mom. She did mostly b movies and westerns but played also in The Big Sleep. Sadly passed away in a Dallas nursing home in 2018, at 93 of natural causes.
I enjoyed it. It was after all around 45 years old and had some great effects in. Back then it must have been well received 👍good one
Scriptwriter deserved an academy award 😂
😂
I'd say a chocolate frog would suffice.
En helt underbart töntig och vacker kalkonfilm, inte spännande en endaste sekund. Bara ren lycka !
This was pretty bad, yet still MUCH BETTER than the garbage they are putting out now.
This show is a trip! "Jock Ewing versus the Skinwalker Ranch". 🤔😳 Thank you for uploading...
Oh my, aliens creatures from another planet are fighting to the death......and ........only a few feet away, horses are quietly standing without a care in the world.........
Jim Davis did a bunch of Western films in the 50s and 60s
He was great. Wondered what happened to him
Glad to see he kept at it. One of the best
Most of the world probably know him as Jock Ewing from the tv show Dallas from the 70s.
THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE STUPIDEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER WATCHED IN MY LIFE , WITH ABSOLUTELY NO MEANING !!!!!!!
😂
That's what makes it great😂
How to interpret the ending depends on the individual.
This is what always happened in the 70,s whenever you built a stupid looking house out in the desert and then proceeded to eat every little cactus button you could find. Wow can't believe any of us survived .
what a gem - thanks for posting🤩 makes me think of movies like The Lathe of Heaven, and shows like Ark II. and books written about aliens from that time . The soundtrack was really good also🤩
Ark II was a childhood gem.
I was only curious about Dorothy Malone - she was 55, here, and looking good - but I watched the whole film. Quite nice! If you can bear seeing actors without holding cellphones to their ears all the time.
Charles Band has been involved with quite a few decent movies. Most notably Re-animator, From Beyond, Ghoulies and the Puppet Master series.Lots of others as well.
They sure don’t make them like that anymore.
Thank goodness
There were a lot of really terrible movies in the 1970’s and this is one of them. I saw back then and it was bad, but now it’s worse, much much worse than when I saw it in 79.
A simple movie that captivated me and kept a smile on my face. and the monsters were fun. took me two days to finish, but worth it. 👌
LOL "Jerk the battery cable off"
This really is science fiction: they drove right up to the arrivals terminal, no waiting.
SINCE I WAS 11YRS OLD I'VE LOVED THIS MOVIE!!! 1 THING THOUGH,DID THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE SURVIVE, OR JUST THIS FAMILY!!!🤔🤔🤔🤔
i'm thinking this was just a desert thing, and the rest of the human race was OK😃
I liked the concept, the release date and the picture quality. It is now straight into my 'To watch' list, now I need to prepare for my next weekend with bag of chips and set my projector ready. I mean 'Thank you my dear for the upload'!
i had a 2002 Mercedes 320 C wagon that used to flash its lights in the middle of the night. No window washers moving though and no aliens.
Oops? No aliens? Then YOU are the alien. Very sorry to wake you up.
It only took eight minutes before the first commercial. Amazing.
I love this film, I wished I had not already watched it 😃
Best comedy I’ve seen in ages
Это первый американский фильм в моей жизни (I'm 61), где не сделано ни одного выстрела, и побеждает простая детская уверенность в добре. Это так по-русски!
I agree most hartingly.
@@467-k1mI'd like to watch more movies of this kind if you could advise. Not like sad story about Klaatu...
41:15 🤭
Thanks for this! Good to see "Jock Ewing' again. Maybe on my part but the voice track is not synchronized.
So you noticed ? You Are a Sharp one !
@@HartmutJagerArt I have my moments 😂
The voice track wasn't synchronized on mine either.
@@GolfMike09😅
I saw in another comment to choose the United Kingdom version of English and it would stay synced... and it worked!
The scariest thing in this movie is Steve’s haircut.
😂
"Miss Ellie, stay inside and lock the door. JR, Bobby: get the rifles, we’re gunna kick some alien butt the ol’ fashion way."
I was here in the 1970s and am very glad that this kind of film hasn't followed me to the 2020s
Когда ребёнок говорит,что что-то видел или слышал, описывая мельчайшие детали,нужно ему верить,а не думать,что это детские фантазии. У детей нет богатого жизненного опыта,чтоб придумать нечто. Ребёнок может описать лишь то,что увидел и что отложилось у него в памяти. Хорошо что здесь были адекватные родители,пошли посмотреть,а не стали говорить девочке,что это её фантазии. Для тех лет фильм снят очень круто.
Have seen this flick before. Worth seeing again. Actually, it is better the second time.
This movie has been awarded three Oscars!
thank you for posting this video. very interesting movie. :)
Grandpa shouldn't have put up the Solar Panels!😂 Good movie!!👍❤️
Lol… Had to be rich to afford solar in 1979 as a 100 W panel was over $3000. Mostly used for satellites and powering equipment in remote film shooting locations
I know this was riffed in the reboot of MST3K but I really wish Rifftrax would tackle this one. Great classic of a low budget sci-fi film. They tried, it didn't turn out so well, but I love it.
Chris Mitchum was longtime movie star Robert Mitchum. Chris was in a lot of Westerns, including two with John Wayne. I had stopped watching movies in 1979 so I missed this one. Thanks for showing it!
Out of curiosity, why did you stop watching moves in 1979?
Lesson learnt here seems to be - if you take a lot of pyschedelic drugs you don't necessarily produce good sci-fi movies . But you can freak people out.
Oh wow, man, that comment was far out!!
Despite carrying this SciFi label, with or without 'some horror', it clearly was produced as a typical kid/teenage adventure film. Those always had hero kids + grandpas around :-)
Thank you 🥤🍿
😂.....👽... 👍😍
This came out two years after Close Encounters, and looks like they wanted to capitalize on that movie. I like this story and actors. Sci-fi was getting popular by the mid 70's: A Boy and his Dog and Roller Ball in 1975, Logan's Run in 1976, Close encounters, Damnation Alley and Star Wars in 1977.
53:05 is the best!
Grandma opens the door and the monster shreiks in terror!
🤣🤣🤣
😅😅😅
He knocked first.
Agreed, it's the moment that makes the audio being out of sync worth it!
You've obviously never seen her without make-up on.
A child's innocents is such a good thing until man takes it away.
I never understood why directors dressed people as if it was an east coast autumn in LA. Those people must have been boiling hot in those get ups at the beginning of the movie.
The most shocking thing in the movie gas 65 cents 12 gallons $7.80 and keep the change 🤯
Could you reupload this in sync, this is the best quality I have ever seen of this movie !
I was scrolling through the comments to see if the problem was on my end, but you apparently have the same problem; the audio gets more out of sync as the movie proceeds. I'm halfway through and the delay is over three seconds now. Too bad, because it is indeed a very nice quality image.
Update: it turns out there is more than one English language audio track you can select. If you switch to 'UK English' (which is the exact same audio, it's weird) the audio is perfectly in sync.
@@berendharmsen Brother you are Amazing, Thank you.
Read a comment said switch Audio to English (United Kingdom), I did and it's a Lot better sync.. Also, It's on Amzn w/ads
Time warp effect. Gets more pronounced as it moves through this continuum.
Alien craft - vacuum cleaner plus slide projector plus windscreen wipers? Terrifying.
Growing up in the 60's and 70's, I appreciate the cars in this movie. Those non plastic cars were great. I learned to drive on V-8 engine cars that had real get up and go. Not these tin cans with rubber band motors like today. Now for the flippant comments. Here's Johnny!!!
Here is a Pony? Whap?
Agreed. It seems we lost something valuable along the way. Culturally and mentally.
@@etsequentia6765but we also lost our planet with all the gasoline and fuel those gorgeous petrol guzzlers consumed. Can’t have it all.
Alternate Title: The day spatial geometry ended. That tiny house/stall were 10 times bigger on the inside.
C'est une histoire à dormir debout que j'aime regarder 😊 Merci
I’m 236 years old and I don’t remember when this movie came out.
12:30 I miss my 1978 Subaru 4wd station wagon. Mine was blue. I used to pass Cherokees in deep snow. They were always nicer to change a flat since the spare tire was stored on top of the engine.
Guess you didn't have a ski boat or anything you needed a trailer hitch for!
Out here in the West, if your 'rig' wasn't an F150 or Suburban, people thought you were one of them danged 'yuppies'!!
You're not one of them, are you??
@@roberthevern6169 I could pull all the trailer I needed. I'm not a big boat person. I had a jon boat and I could put my Suzuki RV90 on a trailer and go up to the dunes in Northern Michigan from my house in Columbus. I did live in Hollywood for five years and went to Musicians Institute. As far as being a yuppie, no I saw through all of that. I was born in '65. I have no use for the idiots who blew with the wind through the 70's and suddenly went corporate in the 80's right when I was ready to be an adult and have to kiss their butts. lol And suddenly it's the 2020's and they're senile selves are blowing in the wind again and frigging having some overwhelming need to rewrite history and say lets give it all away, everyone matters except those thieves 400 years ago...and so now they're appeased and then they can die happy. Well screw that man. I WANT MY SUBARU BACK! lol
I used to see those old Subarus in North Idaho. The roads are salted during the winter. Rather than subjecting their nicer cars to that, they commuted to work in their "beater with a heater".
Cool time warp effect. I started seeing people speaking before I could hear what they said.
Good movie. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
It was unfocused, had lots of dangling plot elements and lacked a story but surprisingly didn’t suck. The effects and art were remarkably good particular for the 1970s and, what otherwise appeared to be, a small budget.
