"The Day the World Ended" is the title of a 1955 SciFi B-movie which the boy Ben had been watching at some critical time in his life. That movie had a weird looking mutant creature in it that was some kind of a model for the creature in this movie.
I think the idea is Ben takes things from that movie and projects them into reality.
The title was even questionable in that 1955 movie.

The story is king.

Somewhere I read that this was a remake of the film from the 50's, however the 50's version evidently was a post-apocalyptic show, and much different.
Evidently, that was the movie the boy was watching. The monster was similar.
I had no idea when we watched this from netflix that it was an HBO made for TV movie, but I think it was quite fun.
