The Day Time Ended (1979)

Mind-numbingly awful, 24 November 2020

A family living on a compound in the middle of the desert is terrorized by aliens.  

I promise to keep this short and sweet.  The Day Time Ended is such a mind-numbingly awful experience that it doesn’t deserve much of my time and effort. I’ll start with the plot - what a mish-mash of different sci-fi ideas that all feel like they’re from different movies!  From the glowing green pyramid to the tiny dancing elf to the gigantic prehistoric creatures to the floating Roomba / fax machine (what was that thing supposed to be?) to the dancing lights to what I’m guessing was a timewarp of some sort, none of it makes the least bit of sense.  Without a coherent plot, this one is a dud from the word Go.  Poor Dorothy Malone looks as befuddled as I did watching this car-crash of a film.  I’m guessing this is what a bad acid trip is like.  The special effects, script, direction, and acting are all equally bad.  There’s really not much here to enjoy.  

A VERY generous 2/10 from me.


2/10
