Review
"The easiest way to describe a popcorn flick like Night of the Comet would be to call it a mash up between George Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978) and John Hughes' The Breakfast Club (1985). The wacky offbeat sensibility of Night of the Comet is a joy to behold. For genre fans, it's easy to fall in love with a farcical 80s sci-fi horror movie with zombies. It's the whimsical warmth of Thom Eberhardt's direction that gives this movie its heart. It's obvious he's a genuine fan of B-movies. Like other cult classic B-movies there is more to Night of the Comet than its wacky sense of humour. It contains genuine terror. An electric piece of cult cinema, Night of the Comet is a classic!
