Being a teenage girl in the valley is never easy. Peer pressure, social awkwardness, alienation, boyfriend trouble, ignorant parents and the apocalypse. Yes, the apocalypse. When squabbling teenage sisters Reggie and Sam wake up one morning to find the human race has been thrown into extinction, they decide to track down a radio signal and hopefully other survivors. It's a journey fraught with flesh eating zombies, demented scientists and 1980s teenage girls brandishing machine guns. Who the hell said Armageddon couldn't be fun?

Directed by Thom Eberhardt (Ratz, Without A Clue, Sole Survivor) and starring b-movie icons Robert Beltran (Lone Wolf McQuade), Catherine Mary Stewart (The Last Starfighter, Weekend At Bernie's), Kelli Maroney (Slayground, Chopping Mall), Mary Woronov (Eating Raoul, Death Race 2000), NIGHT OF THE COMET mixes elements of sci-fi, horror, comedy, satire and action to great effect. A true cult gem of eighties, post apocalyptic cinema.
