“I think night of the comet is a classic zombie film that doesnu0026#39;t take the genre or itself too seriously. Its the ultimate fantasy film asking the question most people have asked themselves, namely u0026quot;what would it be like to be the last people alive on earthu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eReggie and Samantha are two bickering teenage sisters only united in the passionate hatred of their stepmother Doris, who has an equal hatred for the girls. The Comet is big news and everyone is getting ready for the big event, except for Reggie and Samantha who have other things on their mind… The next day comes, and mixed with all the revellers party hats is a mysterious sand. No one seems to be around….u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe premise of the film is good and whilst the acting is not the best it is still perfect for this kind of film. The characters DO have development and arenu0026#39;t just cardboard sketches. The zombies arenu0026#39;t the biggest part of the film but when they make their appearance they do please.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film is always missed off from the classical zombie flic list usually due to its u0026#39;hollywood teenageru0026#39; aimed audience. Most zombie fans ignore it on the basis that it doesnu0026#39;t seem to be a zombie film whilst the non-zombie fans miss out because they donu0026#39;t like the science fiction element. Iu0026#39;d love to see this film transfered and cleaned up for DVD release especially now that more and more films of this genre are making their appearance on DVD.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDonu0026#39;t expect a brilliant script or brilliant actors. Iu0026#39;d say this one is similar to the film u0026#39;dead heatu0026#39; in terms of its zombie load (expect to jump once at least) and u0026#39;my best friend is a vampireu0026#39; for its fantasy element.”
