Directed by Thom Eberhardt, Night of the Comet stars Catherine Mary Stewart and Kelli Maroney as two sisters who survive when a passing comet wipes out most of the population and transforms many of the remaining survivors into zombie-like creatures. Joined by Robert Beltran, they navigate a deserted Los Angeles while uncovering a dangerous scientific operation. The film blends post-apocalyptic science fiction, horror and distinctly 1980s dark comedy.

When the Earth passes through the tail of a comet, an event that hasn’t occurred since the destruction of the dinosaurs, huge crowds turn out on the streets to watch. However, when the cosmic occurrence wipes out most people on the planet. Two aimless Valley girls, Sam and Reggie are left to battle against zombies and a menacing group of scientists.

Night of the Comet, written and directed by Thom Eberhardt (Sole Survivor) is an incredibly entreating slice of science fiction comedy horror, which pays tribute to and pokes fun at those cataclysmic monster movies of the 1950s.
