Man, this is about the most 80's of 80's movies.DerekFME
Amazing film. Loved it since catching late on TV one night in the late 80s. Atmospheric.Siskoid
Young Robert Beltran may be first billed on Night of the Comet, but it's really the two girls' movie (Catherine Mary Stewart and Kelli Maroney) as teenage sisters who survive a comet that brings several kinds of apocalypse with it. In fact, I felt like the movie slowed down considerably once Beltran's character shows up and I didn't care about his subplot at all (and neither did the film, really). A subplot about survivalist egg heads is more interesting and becomes important, though it feels like each new threat just pushes the prior one out of the story, which at its worst, devolves into very stupid gun fights (somehow). My interest started out high, and dwindled as the movie went on. Its most famous ancestor is The Omega Man (though I like The World, the Flesh and the Devil in this category), and counts 28 Days Later among its descendants. Yet, it still feels like an oddity, in part because of its confused narrative, but being odd is a good thing, in my book. As a comedic take on this kind of story, it's all over the place, but not unentertaining.Kenneth McMahon
Mostly nonsense but the photograpy of an abandoned LA is stunning.samoan
Fun and entertaining 80s horror film.jeroeno
I realize most of the things in these kind of movies are kind of dumb and that's mainly why I like them but answer me this one thing about the last five minutes of this film:Why put all the guns in the trashcan while the kids are watching? I mean, he knows the trashcan will not be emptied anymore and the kids can get guns pretty much everywhere and even if they couldn't they would still know where he put these guns. Meanwhile, zombies may terrorize the neighborhood and this dumb fucker doesn't have any guns anymore. Oh well, the burden of civilization sucks :) .

Reminds me of another 80s classic, The Quiet Earth (1985) from New Zealand which is also about someone waking up to find (almost) everyone else on earth have vanished. Actually, I think that one is better than Night of the Comet. Check it out!Kasparius
You're right, it doesn't compare. It's a million times better than things like 28 Days Later.Elvislaw
one of my favs since it came out when I was 10. of course it doesn't really compare to things like 28 days later but i still love it as much as any dystopian movie I have seen.
