Movie Reviews of Night of the Comet
Movie Review: Great 80's movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Summary of Night of the Comet
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: M106776A 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
