Night of the Comet

A huge comet passes near the earth, vaporising most of the planet’s population. Only a few teenagers survive after spending the night inside a steel-lined room and avoiding the effects of the comet. When they emerge the next day, they discover that almost everyone has been turned to dust and a few partially-exposed survivors are now hideous, blood-thirsty zombies.

Night of the Comet is not really symbolic of anything quite so real world perilous, but it serves as a rare example of smart, resourceful and snarky butt-kicking women in film of that decade

A good-natured, end-of- the-world B-movie, written and directed by Thom Eberhardt, a new film maker whose sense of humor augments rather than upstages the mechanics of the melodrama
