Night of the Comet

It’s 1984 and this Christmas we’re going to party like there’s no tomorrow. It seems that a stellar light show will begin on Christmas Eve when a comet passes through our atmosphere. The last time it passed by was over 65,000,000 years ago, about the time the dinosaurs disappeared. So pick up your sunglasses and buy one of those alien headbands everyone’s wearing and enjoy the party for there’s no real tomorrow...

So everyone's partied their butts off and almost no one’s survived the night, except the few who were protected behind steel walls. This is where we join our unlikely heroes, a valley girl, a cheerleader and a truck driver, as they discover what happened to everyone. But watch out, there are zombies everywhere looking for a little action and some nice fresh meat. If that isn’t enough there seems to be a think tank looking for survivors they can save or can they? We’re all just test subjects for the big brains.

Will our heroes survive to repopulate the earth? Of course they will, it’s the 80’s and every fairytale must have a happy ending. so just remember if the world truly ends and you’ve forgotten your MasterCard you won’t need it, the stores are open...

Until 2007, this classic movie was one of the sad list of titles that were unavailable on DVD with seemingly no hope of a release. However we were delighted that it was FINALLY released in the USA on DVD 6th March 2007!! Use our search device to grab a copy!

Now all we gotta wait for is a Special Edition...


This movie is one of the best thing’s to come out of the 80’s. Personally, when I felt low, I would watch this film and just dream that I was one of the last people on earth. And of course my prince charming would roll up in a Porsche to drive me into the sunset. So it’s almost a ten in my book.

Notice any mistakes? Review

Strengths: A true cult classic.

Weaknesses? Would the power really stay on?

Our rating: 9.7 out of 10
