Summary: Night of the Comet
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great movie
Comment: 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.

Summary: WARNING: Extreme Zombie Shortage!...
Comment: 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! Alas, the zombie population is very small, w/ only a few meandering stragglers here and there. Fans of other living dead-type epics may be disappointed by the lack of zombies and any real action. There are long stretches of dullness, where it seems like the movie is going nowhere. However, NOTC has it's moments, and the characters are likeable enough. I especially enjoyed the encounter at the department store between Regina, Samantha, and a group of eeevil, homicidal ex-employees! Robert Beltran (Star Trek: Voyager) is the Mr. nice guy hero dude. Mary Woronov (Death Race 2000, Silent Night, Bloody Night) is at her low-key best as the only member of a scientific research team who seems to have a conscience. Overall, COMET is mildly entertaining, harmless fun...

Summary: Night of the Comet
Comment: 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 too, so much they will die from the proceduure, so they can stay alive by developing an immunization for just the Think Tank. The problem is their group doesn't care about anyone elses survival. Good as a rental but you should be a real fan to purchase it. Good quality DVD with decent replayability. If you enjoyed this catch "My Science Project" and "Adventures in Babysitting". - C. Luster

Summary: Great 80's movie!
Comment: 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.
