Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Catherine Mary Stewart!!! What More Could You Ask For ?, April 30, 2005

By	John Baranyai "Book Nerd And Ex High School G... - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars comet watching, April 6, 2005

By	Mack E. Brown "Eucalyptus" (burien, wa United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Night of the Comet, June 6, 2006

By	sally (Chicago , IL) - See all my reviews

This was a great movie. Scary and funny at the same time. If a person hasn't seen it yet then they need to watch it. I just wish they would get the movie out for some of us to buy it.
