(imdb)THE DAY IT CAME TO EARTH-1977-This starts off with two hit men killing a guy in witness protection. Later some college guys ask some girls on a date. At night a skull faced alien crashes and roams around. It kills the two hit men and goes for a rest in the lake where the guys take the girls the next day. One of the guys finds a strange rock and they show it to their professor (George Gobel). Later the monster terrorizes some girls who have to stay in a haunted house.
With the presence of comedian Gobel, the weird dialogue and bad acting, I'm lead to believe this Arkansas shot mess was supposed to be a comedy but at the last minute they tried to play it straight. Rita Wilson (future wife of Tom Hanks) is also in it. Director Harry Thomason also made ENCOUNTER WITH THE UNKNOWN (1972), SO SAD ABOUT GLORIA (1973) and REVENGE OF BIGFOOT (1979) and later went into TV, working on the show “Designing Women”.
Thanks for reading!
