Night of the Comet (1984)
Member Rating:  
In this satirical sci-fi comedy, Samantha (Kelli Maroney) and Regina (Catherine Mary Stewart) are two sisters whose father was a hard-bitten Green Beret, but who've grown into typical Valley Girls. They end up spending the night in a steel-lined room just as a comet passes close to the earth, vaporizing the people in its wake. When Samantha and Regina emerge, they discover that they have the city to themselves, and they begin the shopping spree to end all shopping sprees. En route to the mall, they discover Hector (Robert Beltran), the only survivor they've found so far, and they argue over who gets the last boyfriend on Earth. However, the mall holds an unpleasant surprise -- a small army of zombified stockboys who the gals must battle using an arsenal they shoplifted along the way (while lamenting that "Daddy would have gotten us Uzis!" after a MAC-10 fails to fire). Meanwhile, a cadre of soldiers from a special military experiment have come out of hiding, but it seems that they need fresh blood to survive, and Samantha and Regina look like just the refreshment they need. Cult figure Mary Woronov also appears in a supporting role as a scientist. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

It's difficult to combine comedy with mass tragedy but this film accomplished just that! Also illustrates how shopping would change in the post apocalypse.

It's been years since my favorite sister & I saw this movie late one night. It was so cheesy but we enjoyed it for the cheese factor. I liked it for the satirical value. Even now, years later, it's a great way to pass the time; it was funny!

A classic somewhat cheesy 80s movie.Catherine Stewart is stunning.The acting and the story line are medium grade.The concept made for a great story back in 1984.The mutants were more like drunk zombies & the special effects are low grade.Great 80s flick.Rent it today!!

A delightful romp through the 80's. SIt back and enjoy this film with lots of cheesy laughs and a few scary "gotcha" moments.

A good zombie apocalypse movie, mixed with a little cheesy humor and a dash of horror and a little bit of romance. Recommended if you like any zombie movie out there, especially the 28 days later franchise and George Romero movies.

I remember this movie from a long time ago and I liked this movie. It was not bad at all pretty good to be a classic and have the zombies that they did.

Its like the 80's, and life is just so Knarly, know what I mean dudes?? I mean, geez, your paents are in our face, and theres NOTHING to do, and NOW there's some lame-o meteor shower, or comet, or like whhaaaattever...... THEN.. Nobodys around, only these piles of tow-toe-lee skanyious dust..... even the MALL is empty!!! But, like, WE ARE NOT like ALONE!! If you are a teen-ager, tweene, OR were one in the eighties, this is a MUST-SEE!!! Funny-Cheesy, without being completely LAME!! WEAR your PoLyEsTeR when watching, any white belts, and shoes also when watching this, and THEN Watch the Skies!! Short Version: Day of the Triffids in "The Valley" Righteous!!
