Funny to laugh at the 80's, but one can only laugh at the 80's for so long before you pray for the ending. Still, there is something charming about government scientist's wanting to kill and suck out children's blood and telling them they will spend the rest of their life with S...( read more)

Great "end of the world" and "empty society" scenes. Low on zombies and no real gore, but the two lead actresses are dead-on playing teen sisters raised by a military nut soldier. The story lags a bit in originalty and form towards the middle, but the dialogue is great and the pr...( read more)

Once-forgotten 80's gem of a movie. A strange comet passes over Earth and turns most of civilization to dust, except for those who were shielded from the energy. Two sisters survived by the comet by chance. I love the eerie quiet morning-after scene. Those who were semi-shielded ...( read more)

Probably not really a 4 star film, but I loved this one as a kid and just watched it again recently. Apparently I still love it. Had a huge crush on Catherine Mary Stewart - especially when she gets all dolled up in the department store scene.

No blood, no nudity, so what's the point you ask? Well I'll tell you the point my friends. The point is that this movie is the epitome of eighties cheese, and if you need any other excuse to run out and see this right now, then I don't know what to say. From big hair and bad m...( read more)

Wacky. Fun. Has touches of I Am Legend and Dawn of the Dead. But less dark and gory than either. While the film is certainly MST3K fodder, it understands what it is and has a great sense of humor about itself. It's funny and that holds it up enough to be tolerable.

Gave this a re-watch, it's still as silly and campy as the first viewing a few years back.
Valley Girls at the end of the world, fighting zombies and the military that doesn't know how to deal with things anymore.
Yeah, it's a silly concept, it's painfully neon and 80's, but I ...( read more) -

A quirky take on the apocalypse/zombie flick.
Dim-witted (though handy with firearms) teenage girls
are the heroins as the genius scientists who prepared
for such an event slowly die. -

Classic freak-fest. One of my forgotten faves that now has been brought to the surface again.
