Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Lesley Millington Fantastic 80's apocalypse film. Its not a sci-fi that appears to have deeper levels, but is a great package of a film which makes it very remember-able. The characters and actors are appealing and believable. The atmosphere via filming, filters, background music is excellent and gives a great feeling of place, desolateness and the films own personality. Also the two main characters go and do exactly what any sane human would do in this situation too.(no spoilers) This film probably has many of the same ingredients that made Dawn of the Dead so good but with a more comedic side.A fantastic Saturday night film and easy entertainment.(its not too scary or gory although effective) One of my all-time favorites. Its a 10/10 for what it is.As for much of the films scenes and imagery, the films last scene and bad joke will for some reason stick in your mind.

Mr-Fusion "Night of the Comet" is one of those very '80s movies that creates an eerie alien atmosphere out of desolate streets and an unnatural color palette. I really dig that searing orange sky lighting Los Angeles. "To Live and Die in L.A." also does this to great effect. It's a modest effect but such a cool look.In all honesty, I came to this movie mostly for Catherine Mary Stewart (I mean really, don't we all?). She's got a good rapport with Kelli Maroney; valley-girl but tough. That's what I really like about this movie: it's post-apocalyptic, but still maintains a sense of fun; good balance between funny and serious. It doesn't pretend to be anything more than a cheesy spin on the zombie genre, and it wears that on its sleeve.Fun movie.7/10

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.

tomgillespie2002 18 year-old Reggie (Catherine Mary Stewart), is a Valley girl working in the local movie theatre when the rest of the world are out partying, waiting for the arrival of a passing comet. Reggie has a party of her own with goofy projectionist Larry (Breaking Bad's Michael Bowen) and ends up missing the event entirely. After Larry is attacked by a zombie- like creature and dragged away, Reggie emerges into the world the next morning to find everyone vanished. All that remains are piles of clothes and red dust. She travels home to pick up her adorable sister Samantha (Kelli Maroney), and heads to a local radio station in search for fellow survivors, only to find lovable idiot Hector (Robert Beltran).What is clearly aiming for pastiche of 1950's apocalyptic sci-fi movies, is actually an uneasy mix of many things. With the early introduction of the 'zombies', who can talk and use weapons, we are in horror territory. But this seems quickly forgotten once Hector goes to search for his mother and the girls head out for some very 80's retail therapy, even dancing around to Cyndi Lauper. Then it feels like we are in a John Hughes movie, with light humour and a cheesy soundtrack replacing the end-of-the-world atmosphere. It then switches again when the survivors are tracked down by a group of researchers who may or may not be up to any good. We are then in kiddie-friendly sci-fi mode, with men in white suits and big buttons that make science-y sounds.Night of the Comet really isn't that bad, it just suffers from a disarming lack of follow-through that withhold's the film's potential, and shifts between genres too gleefully. The result is a film that's isn't funny enough to be labelled an out-and-out comedy, too bloodless to be called a horror, and takes too long to get to the shady scientist types that it would be misleading to name it science fiction. The performances are all decent, especially Star Trek: Voyager's Beltran and Chopping Mall's (1986) Maroney, who both would have benefited the film by having more screen-time. Geoffrey Lewis also shows up near the end as the big-bad head of the shady researchers, but it's too little, too late, and Night of the Comet is tame and messy when it should be spunky and fun.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com
