Editorial Review:
A sleeper at the time of its release in 1984, Thom Eberhardt's Night of the Comet has built a small cadre of fans thanks to its breezy performances and blend of comedy and tongue-in-cheek science fiction. Catherine Mary Stewart and Kelli Maroney are thoroughly likable as a pair of San Fernando Valley sisters who find themselves completely alone after the arrival of Halley's Comet reduces their affluent community--and most of Los Angeles--to dust. Their subsequent nonstop shopping spree is soon interrupted by predatory zombies, as well as a sinister scientific cabal (led by cult favorites Mary Woronov and Geoffrey Lewis) with designs on the girls. Stewart and Maroney are terrifically game as the heroines (especially Maroney, whose flair for bubbly comedy was never given another chance on screen), and Robert (Star Trek: Voyager) Beltran is also on hand as a fellow survivor and romantic lead. Fun for '80s enthusiasts and sci-fi fiends who don't mind a little fizz in their end-of-the-world scenarios. -- Paul Gaita
A comet wipes out most of life on Earth leaving two Valley Girls to fight the evil types who survive. Two pretty high school girls (one a cheerleader!) don't like their mother or her new boyfriend ("Daddy would have gotten us Uzis!"). One morning they wake up to find that everybody in Los Angeles has been turned to dust by a Comet except them a guy who looks like Erik Estrada some zombies and the occupants of a secret underground government installation.System Requirements:Run Time: 95 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: SCI-FI/FANTASY Rating: PG - 13 UPC: 027616067760 Manufacturer No: M106776

Rating:  - Night of the Comet
I am sooo glad that they finally released this on DVD. This is such a good sleeper movie that has such a following. Not bad acting either. It's a fun watch.
Rating: - Great movie
This is a really good sci fi movie that keeps you jumping in your seats. No real gorey parts, but the mutants will scare you to screaming. The timing, and cut work is impecible. I love the DMK twist at the end. You gotta look for it, but you will giggle for days when you make the connection.
Rating:  - WARNING: Extreme Zombie Shortage!...
NIGHT OF THE COMET is a cutesy, '80s take on the apocalyptic / zombie story. Two sisters, Regina (Catherine Mary Stewart) and Samantha (Kelli Maroney from Chopping Mall and Fast Times At Ridgemont High) wake up one morning to find that a comet has wiped out most of humankind. Thankfully, these pretty, suburban girls are as well skilled in martial arts as they are handy w/ automatic weaponry! This proves to be essential, since those not turned to dust by the comet have become flesh-eating zombies! ... Read More
Rating: - Night of the Comet
Watchable 80's Zombie movie. This is kind of fun to get a peek at the clothes and music of the 1980s. Two girls find themselves with one guy survivor after Halley's comet leaves the sky red and turns people into red dust or bloodthirsty Zombies. Look for a young Robert Beltran, Chacotay from "Star Trek Voyager". They must survive till it rains so they hang out in a radio station for awhile trying to call for help. They get an answer from a Think Tank, but it turns out all they want is their blood ... Read More
Rating: - Great 80's movie!
This film is so underrated, and is one of the best movies of the 1980's. The movie is a great campy version of the 1960's B-rated sci-fi movies, with a 1980's Valley girl spin. Robert Beltran (later of Star Trek Voyager) and Mary Catherine Stuart, do a great job in the film.
