Need a title

[bonestructure]

It's a 70s or 80s movie. A family lives in a nice little house out in
the desert. Some how their house becomes the center of a dimensional
rip and they're plagued with all kind of stop motion creatures and
stuff. Somehow in my head it's connected to Laserblast, either as a
double feature or as made by the same folks. I'd really like to add it
to my wish list, though. Been years since I've seen it.

Sounds like THE DAY TIME ENDED. As for its connection to LASERBLAST,
Both films were produced by Charles Band.

By golly, that's the one. And I didn't even get any joke titles. I
gotta get that flick. I remember it being terrific fun and rather
unusual.

A small family relocates to the Sonoran Desert, to be closer to the
grandparents of the family. Though there are news reports of a
spectacular triple supernova, and the young granddaughter has seen a
glowing alien construction behind the barn, the family is at ease
until, one night, a UFO soars over head and appears to land in the
nearby hills. Apparently, the triple supernova has opened a rift in
space and time. The family finds that their electrical appliances no
longer function, and the youngest daughter of the family has a
telepathic encounter with an extraterrestrial. The grandmother, too,
sees one of these diminutive creatures beckoning to her, but it soon
vanishes. The grandfather, while trying to start the car, sees that a
strange animal is approaching from the distance. The grandfather goes
back inside and informs the family that something is coming; before
long, a variety of horrific, alien monsters (all of these creatures
being of a reptilian or amphibious nature) are proceeding to slaughter
each other outside the house; some are trying to break in (after
knocking) and kill the family. After a few moments, the same UFO from
before appears in the sky, and teleports the creatures to a different
place. The family take this opportunity to escape to the barn, which
is more easily defensible than the house. The family become separated
from one another and each hides until sunrise, where they find that
they have been launched thousands of years into the future. They meet
up with the daughter, who had become separated from the family during
one of the time-warp events. She knows, somehow, that everything is
going to be fine now. After walking across the desert, they finally
see a domed city in the distance, and decide to seek refuge there. The
grandfather proclaims that there must be a purpose to all of this. The
family walks off into the distance, having survived the day time
ended.

A lot of the movies Charles Band produced in Italy, before he moved to
the US and started Full Moon are really worth seeing. Laserblast,
despite it's low budget, is a classic. Mansion off the Damned is pure
Eurohorror. There's Tourist Trap, Metalstorm, The Alchemist,
Ghoulies, Zone Troopers, Re-animator, the classic Troll, From Beyond,
Breeders, Ghost Warrior. Band really should be up there with Roger
Corman as a B movie icon.

BE FAIR. I made at least one reference to the H6 PCUT this week.

Actually, I found it by following Laserblast. I knew it had something
to do with it. Once I saw Charles Band produced Laserblast, I knew he
had produced this one too. I don't remember a lot about the movie, but
I remembered it was his style, and it used his stop motion stuff.
Which he actually did quite well most of the time.
