Hi, please help me find a movie name about aliens. I saw it when I was a kid so I don’t remember a lot of details. This is what I remember:

1. The main character was a boy that was being protected by a metal ball who followed him
2. The metal ball is destroyed at the end of the movie
3. In some Jump scare scene, the boy was in a very dark room and suddenly an alien appeared. Because of darkness, the alien is not well seen
4. I saw this movie in the 80s, and it appeared to be of those years or at least 70s. Not older.

Thanks in advance!

This reminds me of The Glitterball (1977) , a British children’s movie

Phantasm (1979) features a “metal” sphere object that chases a boy.
