Night of the Comet

The story is about a comet that passes over hte earth turning everyone exposed to dust or crazed zombies. A few people survived the effects, only to find new dangers to face. This was a cheesy 80's flick, but cheesy in a good way. It was creative to say the least. Of course I dig the whole post-apocalypse thing in movies. The comet left a red tint over the rest of the movie which gave an errie feel to the mood. Not a whole lot of action, but a good flick. 3 out of 5.

• Regina: Survives the comet but has to deal with the annoying people that also survive.
