Night of the Comet
audience Reviews
, 58% Audience Score- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsThis is one of the few '80s films where the females are the protagonists. The valley girls kick zombie butt for sure. The scientists have really rad threads. The concept of the zombies is original. This movie definitely has brains. People turning into calcium dust puts a different twist to the whole zombie genre. And the way people becomes zombies is imaginative. Not your typical zombies mindlessly looking for brains & people to turn into Zeds. It's one of the few horror-comedies film that kids 12 or under could actually watch. There was definitely mall madness theme in horror movies back then. Some many horror flicks in the big 80's have scenes that take place in a mall. Mary Woronov who plays Audrey in the movie definitely fits into the Scream Queen Category. She appeared in many horror classics like Chopping Mall, Night Of The Comet, Warlock, & Terror Vision

- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsTime capsule of the 80s. Entertaining romp through post-apocalyptic LA.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsThis horror film is a quintessential B-movie, zombie-themed, and apocalyptic, but its mid-eighties charm makes it utterly delightful. The unlikely survival story of two teenage valley girls from LA, amidst a catastrophic comet flyby, has become a beloved favorite of mine. The film expertly balances humor, jump scares, and memorable one-liners, making it incredibly quotable with repeated viewings. Having watched it excessively as a child, almost daily for a year, I revisited it after a decade and my affection for it remains unwavering, solidifying its status as a cherished guilty pleasure
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsFunny snarky movie.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsNight of the Comet is The Last Man on Earth meets Dawn of the Dead meets Valley Girl for chicks and is really clever idea for women do what ever they want surround by zombies and evil scientists and great cast and costume designs you can actually feel the 80's culture.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsA beautifully atmospheric sci-fi B-movie, Thom Eberhardt’s “Night of the Comet” is a bright, iconic, and underrated gem from the mid-80s. This is quite possibly the most 80s film ever made, with Kelli Maroney and Catherine Mary Stewart giving in my opinion some of the best performances of that era. If shopping during the zombie apocalypse is something you’d do, I’d say this one is definitely for you.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsA Lower budget movie with a really Cool cast! A good twist on a doomsday scenario for mankind. It's a "get your popcorn ready" flick. Two thumbs up!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 starsDumb, boring, and altogether unbelievable, Night of the Comet is a below-average sci-fi comedy and a complete waste of time.
- Rating: 1.5 out of 5 starsApparently this is supposed to be a parody/satire on zombie movies and Valley Girl movies which I didn't pick up at all. I saw a censored version with almost 10 minutes cut up but I don't think that's what made me confused. There have been a lot of comedies where I just couldn't see the comedy beyond people just being dumb, so maybe that's the case here too. Sure, the movie definitely tries to be as unserious as it can be even with some truly horrific plot points in it, but that doesn't automatically translate as comedy to me. It gets amusing a lot but I still get bored with the stupidity and mundanity of it even in the most supposedly tense scenes in the movie. But it did seem like the actors were having a great time and enjoying themselves.
