A sleeper at the time of its release in 1984, Thom Eberhardt's Night of the Comet has built a small cadre of fans thanks to its breezy performances and blend of comedy and tongue-in-cheek science fiction. Catherine Mary Stewart and Kelli Maroney are thoroughly likable as a pair of San Fernando Valley sisters who find themselves completely alone after the arrival of Halley's Comet reduces their affluent community--and most of Los Angeles--to dust. Their subsequent nonstop shopping spree is soon interrupted by predatory zombies, as well as a sinister scientific cabal (led by cult favorites Mary Woronov and Geoffrey Lewis) with designs on the girls. Stewart and Maroney are terrifically game as the heroines (especially Maroney, whose flair for bubbly comedy was never given another chance on screen), and Robert (Star Trek: Voyager) Beltran is also on hand as a fellow survivor and romantic lead. Fun for '80s enthusiasts and sci-fi fiends who don't mind a little fizz in their end-of-the-world scenarios. -- Paul Gaita

Catherine Mary Stewart!!! What More Could You Ask For ?
This would have to be one of my alltime favourite movies and has deservedly become a Cult SciFi Classic over the years. It concerns the passing of a comet over the Los Angeles area turning most of it's residents into red dust. The absolutely beautiful Catherine Mary Stewart plays Regina , one of the survivors . Together with her sister they try to adjust to this lonely new world. This movie has zombies, mad scientists and teenagers who still want to go out and have a good time. I would ask Catherine to marry me but alas she is already wed.This movie is a gem!!!

comet watching
I'm in complete agreement with most of the other reviewers. Please release this movie soooooooonnnnn on DVD! I have fond memories of this movie, and the soundtrack,"which I don't think was ever released". Hey maybe that can be an extra bonus, releasing the soundtrack with the DVD as well! To all fans awaiting this movies' release on DVD, I'm right there with you. Let's keep our fingers crossed for this one!

Deserves a DVD and more than just 'cult classic' status
First saw this film on one of the movie cable channels in the late '80s and immediately fell in love with it. The movie is completely without pretense, and the cast members all turn in memorable performances. The movie is just fun, fun, fun, with a minimal amount of `Hollywood' gore but plenty of thrills. If you like your sci-fi a little more down to earth, you'll like "Night Of The Comet." Three thoughts in closing: 1) That's not Cyndi Lauper singing "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," but it sounds pretty close, 2) My favorite quote: `I'm not crazy, I just don't give a f---!' 3) I'd like the movie even if my initials weren't DMK--fans of the film will know what I'm talking about.
