    Charming and nice Science Fiction about a Zombie Apocalypse caused by a destructive comet
    The passage of the comet, which last visited 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs disppeared, arrives in Earth with fateful consequences . The passing comet turns almost everyone in LA into piles of red dust . As the comet comet wipes out most life on Earth , disappearing all but a few people on our Earth . As two teens : worker Catherine May Stewart and cheerleader Kelli Maroney survive the breathtaking disaster . After surviving the explosion of the deadly comet , the two beautiful sisters discover that they seem to be the last people on Earth . They respond to the end of the World by shopping for disco clothes in a disco-free town. But these girls can handle comet related effect : an occassional Zombie plague with automatic weapons and karate films . When the zombies start pursuit them , thing begin to lose their charm . The survivors , mostly young adults as Robert Beltran , are hunted by a pair of baddies : Mary Woronov , Geoffrey Lewis , these emerge from their low-budget bunker to reveal that the turn-of-dust thing is accelerating and they need to drain the blood of uncontamined survivors .

    An amusing and enjoyable Science Fiction movie with two wonderful protagonists giving and having fun. It is added with a moving musical score and packing about twenty songs . Enjoyable chiller in medium budget with thrills , terror , noisy action , shootouts and it all adds up to a zesty spoof of science fiction genre . Cute and fun , but the storyline runs out earlier the film does . Sympathetic starring duo : Catherine May Stewart and Kelly Maroney , they give funny and agreeable acting as two likable teenagers , especially when are dancing at the deserted Mall under background a famous song sung by Cindy Lauper . Furthermore , a fine and adequate support cast with brief interpretations from Sharon Farrell , Michael Bowen , Mary Wonorov and Geoffrey Lewis .

    The motion picture was lively and professionally directed by Thom Eberhardt . Thom has directed a few but acceptable films as Sole Survivir , Without a clue , The night before , Gross anatomy , Captain Ron , Ratz , Face Down , among others . Rating 6.5/10 . Decent and entertaining enough Scifi/horror movie with hilarious elements .
