The Night of the Comet

Details

It's going to be to be a hell of a show: a huge comet is passing Earth. But young Reggie Belmont (Catherine Mary Stewart - The Last Starfighter) misses the fireworks to be with her boyfriend.

When she wakes up, however, the whole world is changed: the people that haven't been turned into red dust have become zombies. With the help of fellow survivors, including her sister Sam (Kelli Maroney - The Zero Boys) and trucker Hector (Robert Beltran - Eating Raoul), she searches for signs of life - but after the end of civilisation, not everyone they encounter is to be trusted...

A gloriously entertaining mashup of 1950s Atom Age sci-fi and 1980s teen movies, Night of the Comet proves that the apocalypse doesn't have to be a bummer. Written and directed with tremendous wit by Thom Eberhardt (Without a Clue), this is one of the most beloved cult movies of its era, now - finally! - available on dazzling 4K UHD.

With a 4K remaster from the original camera negatives, The Night of the Comet is released on Limited Edition dual-format Blu-ray and 4K UHD 16th November 2026 from 88 Films.
