Night of the Comet (1984)

I remember I saw this on VHS soon after it came out, but I didn't recall much about it other than liking it. Watching it now it's still great fun. One night the Earth passes through the tail of a comet and crowds gather the world over to watch the spectacle. However, in California two girls miss the event; 18 yr old Regina ('Reggie') who's having sex with her boyfriend in the projectionist booth of a local movie theatre at the time, and her 16 yr old sister Samantha ('Sam') - who's spending the night in a storage shed following a physical fight with their stepmother at home. When Reggie's boyfriend leaves the theatre he's killed by a zombie. Reggie goes looking for him and is attacked by the same zombie; she escapes but finds that all the streets are deserted - leaving just empty clothes and piles of red dust. The sisters reunite and set off to look for other survivors, whilst dealing with the threat of more zombies and a band of rogue scientists with their own nefarious agenda.

This is basically a light-hearted 1980s version of those 1950s end-of-the-world sci-fi movies - but with two Valley girls for leads. It's massively entrenched in the fashion and style of the time (with a killer soundtrack), so leans heavily on the nostalgia button if you were there. Catherine Mary Stewart (Reggie) and Kelli Maroney (Sam) are hot, fun, engaging, and play off each other well. Plus there's Robert Beltran, Mary Woronov, and Geoffrey freaking Lewis. It's very low budget but it doesn't overreach itself, and the effects (although very '80s') aren't too bad. And if there's one image that will stay with me from this movie forever, it's Kelli Maroney dressed as a cheerleader letting rip with a Mac-10 in the middle of the city! It's daft and brainless - and I definitely recommend it! 7.5/10

Not the worst low budget zombie film I've seen and there are plenty out there but I already know I'll forget most of it in a couple days but it wasn't awful.

5/10



I was expecting this to be awful but I actually somewhat enjoyed it. Daisy Ridley just has so much potential but her as an action star probably isn't the best route to go IMO. I really like her as an actress though but sadly it just seems like Hollywood has no idea what to do with her at this point. She's easily the best part of this movie and the action scenes were actually pretty well done.

6.5/10



Wow this was actually pretty solid and easily the best of these Twisted Childhood Universe films that I've seen so far. It's gory, dark and twisted yet very well acted for a low budget B flick. I also thought the lead guy did a bang up job in this as evil Peter Pan and was every bit as creepy and sinister as Ethan Hawk was in Black Phone which is overall a better film than this but I'm giving credit where credit is due.

7/10

Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women (1968)

Soon after landing on Venus a team of American astronauts are attacked by a creature resembling a pterosaur. In order to do defend themselves they kill it. However, Venus is inhabited by a race of women who worshipped the flying creature, and who decide to kill the astronauts in revenge.

This movie started life as a 1962 Russian film called Planeta Bur. US producer Roger Corman got hold of it and decided to overdub it with American actors for a US release. His first attempt met with a very limited success so he tried again. This time he hired a young Peter Bogdanovich to shoot some extra scenes, telling him "AIP won't buy it unless we stick some girls in it." So, Bogdanovich hired blonde bombshell Mamie Van Doren, plus half a dozen or so other blondes, and shot their inserts over five days (their roles mainly involving reclining on the shoreline of a Venusian ocean, whilst posing in skin-tight pants and tops made-up of two strategically placed seashells). Because of this there is no direct onscreen interaction between the women and the astronauts, and as a result the film inevitably feels very disjointed. In its favour, there is a strange dreamlike quality to the scenes on the planet surface, that put me in mind of Mario Bava's (obviously much better) Planet of the Vampires. And the apparent free availability of modern-day hair products and makeup on Venus is worth a laugh every time we get a closeup of one of the centrefolds Venusians. That said, it's a poor movie, and really worth seeing only as a curio. Despite her limited 'role', Van Doren was front and centre for all marketing for obvious reasons. 3.5/10
