"Night of the Comet is by no means a "good" film by normal standards. It is rife with plotholes, clunky dialogue, and B-movie acting. HOWEVER, I can't help but enjoy it. It is 80s in every sense of the word and I am irrevocably drawn to it despite all of its flaws. Set in LA during a fictional comet strike, the plot revolves around sisters Samantha and Regina who must survive on their own after the comet's...well, I don't know what, but people either turned into orange dust or flesh-eating zombies. (I know you're already wondering what's not to like aout this flick). I'm sure in other hands it could be fleshed out and turned into some sort of Omega Man knock-off, but it's the corniness that makes this movie. As I've said, the acting and story are what you'd expect from a Sci Fi Channel weekend movie. The lead actors don't put on terrible performances, but some of the lines they have to run through are hilarious in their own right. ("We can say fuck, but let's substitute 'have sex' w ... "

This year, of course, the economic downturn will make the day even worse than usual. The stores may be desperately holding the biggest sales we’ll ever witness, but lowest prices aren’t quite low enough for those who are broke or bankrupt. So, you may stay home this Friday. Perhaps you’ll at least make some minor online purchases, because you’re a patriotic, consuming American and it’s kind of like an unofficial holiday in our capitalist democracy. But don’t not go out to the mall simply because of the craziness potentially happening on its many floors of fashion and furnishings. You mustn’t be frightened of the crowds. Just recall a ... "

"Did they die at the end or were they dreaming? I've seen this movie two times and could never figure out the ending. For that reason, it really wasn't that good of a movie. Now, with remakes being done all the time on previous movies, I am sure that if they ever get to this one, someone will fill in the blanks and maybe add some meat to the plot line. Omega Man (Charleton Heston, you know Moses in Cecil B. Demille's 10 Commandments) movie was redone as I Am Legend with Will Smith (I haven't seen Legend, but my instructor at school Dr. Futyma said it was good). "
