Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Predrag A fun diversion from the traditional zombie & post-apocalyptic fare. Scary situations & deadly dangers are still present to threaten our heroines & heroes, but "Night of the Comet" also has an infectious sense of free-spirited fun to lighten things up. Cathrine Mary Stewart & Kelli Maroney are terrific as two teenaged sisters who battle zombies & other end-of-the-world hazards, in between bouts of giving each other stylin' make-overs and trying on all the latest totally cool new outfits at a nearby mega mall. Like totally, fer sure! A young Robert Beltran impresses as a fast-on-his-feet trucker who chances upon the sisters at a local radio station and decides to stick with them and see what this uncertain new world has in store for them all. A simple but effective red gel overlay used on the camera lens during all the outdoor shots reminds you that things are no longer what they used to be thanks to that deadly meteor. Bummer, dude! Solid, straight-forward direction from Thom Eberhardt keeps the proceedings moving along at a steady clip. A tight script with a few clever ideas keeps this from just being another doom-laden end of the world flick.Some great performers here, starting with Kelli Maroney as the younger sister. She's been in a few other films. The other main stars, Robert Beltran and Catherine Mary Stewart were fine, but I've never heard of them since. If the movie had taken a more serious note, this film wouldn't have been so much fun to watch, to see the zero budget special effects, to listen to the cheesy 80's songs, and as for the end, yes it all kind of neatly plays out, but sometimes you don't need a severed head in a box to make a film work. Plus isn't it nice to know that DMK was one of the survivors too...Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

trashgang A package deal delivered me this flick, never seen it before but came across it a many times just seen it on Blu Ray I must say that it wasn't really my thing. People say it's horror but I can't agree on that part. Sure, there are a few zombies walking around and they were really well done but some zombies doesn't make a horror. I should say that this is a a bit of a throw back to the fifties and sixties sci-fi flicks. And people knowing me do know that that era isn't my thing. And it do shows that it was being made in the eighties, the hair, Jesus and the spandex and other clothing and the score. But overall there isn't that much action going on, only some lame situations. But it do has it fan base, but not for me.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

gilligan1965 Horror movies like this are what attracted so many teen boys, like myself, to the Dusk-Till-Dawn Drive-Ins back in the 1980s. Most of these movies were out-right awful; many were so-so; but, others, including this one, were actually very good and memorable.I really loved the drive-in movies when I was a teen (too bad for the teens nowadays!?!?). Studios were producing B-Movies ten-at-a-time to flood the drive-ins, and, we teens loved it! These movies, no matter how good or bad, are what we went to see...all night and into the morning.The drive-in, like the mall, the video arcade, and, the recreational center, was a social institution, and, YOU HAD TO BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!This is a really good movie that I saw at the Riverdale Drive-In in West Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1984 with my friends in my 1974 Datsun B-210...hee-hee!Even the cheesy 1980s music in this movie is good! Compared to most of the garbage played in movies now...it's great! It almost all sounds like Sammy Hagar, Patty Smyth, and/or Journey, and, brings back a lot of good memories.And...last, but, certainly not least, these movies always had hot chicks (usually called 'Scream Queens' back in the day) who teenage boys lusted after. This movie has "Cindy the Cheerleader" (Kelli Maroney) from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" (1982); and, the ever-and-still-beautiful Catherine Mary Stewart.I love how it's said in this movie, about one hour in, by the glasses-wearing dork-freak who's in control of all of this disaster (like in "Wayward Pines")..."It's ironic! Of all the great minds of the world, all the great intellects, who should survive!?!?" His meaning being - two idiot hot chicks!?!? And, it's a government cover-up like in "The Crazies" (2010)...and, how many other books and movies!?!? Only here, the hot chicks, survive (The Meek).I had a very happy life as a child and a teen, and, these movies are a big part of my happiness. As a teen, I loved these 'Dime-A-Dozen' B-Movies...and, I guess I still do...or, I'm having a mid-life crisis!?!? Nope! I doubt it! These movies should all be brought back to drive-ins (if there are any left) so that my own teenage Son (and, the Sons of guys my age) can see them all night and into the morning with his friends, just as his Daddy did when he was a teen! The drive-in movies were a great time in America during the 1980s; just as they were in the 1950s, 1960s, and, 1970s! :)I give this movie seven stars because it's a movie that I once liked...and, seeing it again after 31 years, brought me back to a time in my life when all I had to worry about in the world was having enough money for gasoline for my car so I could bring my girlfriend out on a date...likely to a drive-in movie!MEMORIES - are all we have when we're old!GOOD MEMORIES - are sometimes hard to come by!DRIVE-IN MOVIE MEMORIES - are the best for someone who was a teenage boy in the 1980s!

bluesman-20 What if. A Comet came bringing death with it ? and those who it didn't kill outright were turned into zombie like creatures Creatures with a taste or a craving for human blood What if you were behind steel walls and you and four other people were the last normal people on earth as far as you know ? And the comet zombies are hunting you for your blood. The Night of the Comet gave us those questions and answered them with a style and a flair for the comedy. Kelli maroney stole the show with her portrayal of Samantha a not too bright yet spirited teenager. Cathrine Mary Stewert shines as Reggie Sam's big sister. Both are deadly having been trained from an early age by their Green Beret father to handle themselves. Geofferey Lewis a gem who shines no matter what he plays in. Not only steals his scenes but chews the scenery with a glee. The movie was one of those movies that I watched over and over again as a Teen. And now having discovered it again. I find it one of the most fun movies to watch. Comet never takes itself too seriously. Which explains it's enduring charm. Watch it and you'll find a new film that you might watch again.
