Night of the Comet (1984)


"Where are the kids? It's Saturday morning. Where are the goddamn kids?"

Directed by: Thom Eberhardt
Cinematography by: Arthur Albert
Country: U.S.

Plot:
Two high school sisters search for survivors in a barren downtown Los Angeles after a passing comet magically obliterates nearly all organic life.

Reasons to watch:
Not as much of a horror film as it advertises itself to be and tries a bit too hard to cruise by on Dawn of the Dead (1978) references, but this post-apocalyptic sci-fi action teen comedy features excellent visual design, some very funny and very 80s humor, and a terrific lead performance from Catherine Mary Stewart.

Where to watch:
Tubi/Kanopy
