Description: A comet that hasn’t passed the Earth for 65 million years during the age of the Dinosaurs is returning and the entire world is having a comet watching party (shades of Day of the Triffids). Unfortunately, everyone who watches either gets turned into a zombie or pink dust (shades of Where have All the People Gone?). The few who were protected by certain types of metal shielding survive to find a nightmarish world (shades of The Omega Man and I Am Legend).
Of course, for 2 teenage Valley girl sisters there are perks free shopping sprees, free cars they even lower the legal drinking age to 10! But besides outrunning the Undead by hiding out in a Mall, they have to evade a dangerous group of scientists from a secret underground government installation who are trying to cure the zombie-itis (shades of Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead).
The girls are played by Kelli Maroney (Fast Times at Ridgemont High and the great Chopping Mall) and the hot-a-licios Catherine Mary Stewart (Nightflyers, Weekend at Bernie’s, The New Outer Limits, World Gone Wild).
The 2 main scientists are Geoffrey Lewis (one of the creepy vampires in Salem’s Lot, The Lawnmower Man, Every Which Way But Loose, The Devil’s Rejects) and cult actress Mary Woronov (Frog-g-g!, Silent Night, Deadly Night , Death Race 2000, The Devil’s Rejects).
Review:
When first watched the film Night of the Comet, I would say that was very impressed. Then, maybe, I haven’t grown to the prescribed rating of PG-13. Films, due to their age, at that time, watched a bit, so compare it with. And yet analogues, I have not found it. Moreover, could not find even a little bit of a similar plot. Since then and went I love all kinds of post-apocalyptic films and books.
The other day I decided to reconsider and have not regretted. On a background of modern youth Thriller film looks very original, first of all the fact that there are so bored all the story about how some group of friends went on vacation, somewhere lost and later all of them were killed. No, the film is not about that. And even not about zombies. The film tells us about survival in a post-apocalyptic world, and the Apocalypse the movie looks very originally, there were no nuclear war, no global warming, our planet get hit by an asteroid (although the plot and connected with him, but rather with a comet). The picture keeps the viewer in suspense, it is impossible to predict what will happen in the next scene.
If we talk about the outfit, this film practically no. Yes and zombies (let us call them, although in fact they are not in this film) do not look too scary, but then the rating of PG-13 with the expectation of a wider audience. Nevertheless, I recommend that you see a picture of all lovers of this genre.
If we talk about assessment, it rather is based on the memories from the first viewing. Look I now for the first time, the score possible, and would be a bit lower.

Definitely one of the better, more inspired Zombie-movies. That the lead characters consist of two Valley-Girls makes it even better. Nice photography and camera.
