Night of the Comet Review - Off The Shelf Reviews

[@SiN88m]

Fight scenes between actors were just perfectionized a few years later when they made "They live" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@porkflaps4717]

Can't count how many times I saw this on HBO in the 80's lol

[@TheLaGangjShow]

I remember watching this as a young lad on the Scyfi Channel. Every Saturday and possibly Sunday they would have event themed movies like Zombies, Animal/Insect attack movies, eco-horror films, etc. It introduced me to so many different films and franchises with Night of the Comet being one of my favorites.

[@literaltiffy1699]

This movie gives me so many happy 80's childhood nostalgia feels. One of my faves. Thanks boys!

[@Jay-mu4xl]

Yep awesome! OTSR do it again and make Thursday's awesome! 👊👊 Thankyou & have a great day Shelfers! 🌟

[@mattmidgley4275]

Good old 80’s cheese, thanks for keeping the reviews going guys 👊

[@dtiz10]

You made my day; Night of the Comet is one of my favorite movies. It came out when I was a teenager, so watching it is like a bit of nostalgia for me. I even worked at a movie theater in high school. Keep up the 80s videos. Off the Shelf Reviews is my favorite channel on the internet.

[@controlZchannel]

Such a perfectly fun movie of this era and genre.

[@adampoll4977]

Catherine Mary Stewart - swoon - such a sweet 80s icon.

[@michaelcoffey1991]

Great cult movie, glad you all took some time to showcase it. Messed me up for a week or two when I saw this.

[@ASSLEVANIA]

This one grew on me after a while. I remember seeing this on the AMC channel here in the US in the early 2000's. They had a horror marathon every Friday night for a while that really blew me away in my preteens - Prince of Darkness, The Innocents, The Other (really should check that out if you haven't), Halloween III, The Keep and friggin Xtro I first saw all on that block. Pretty cool stuff. Didn't like this one as much back then but I'm more fond of it now. I think it's a little smarter and more well done than I had remembered. Definitely does have a comic book and/or Twilight Zone vibe. This one could fit in a "commercialsploitation" marathon along with Chopping Mall, The Stuff, Dawn of the Dead, etcetera if you had that inclination. Anyway thanks dudes & keep it up! I look forward to these reviews cause more often than not you cover movies I either just kinda forgot about or otherwise just haven't revisted in a while. Might check this out again later. Stay well and happy fellas!

[@HigHrvatski]

Comet passes by Earth and a lot of people turn into dust .... seems fine by me.

[@larrym5120]

I used to get home late at night on the weekends and this movie would be on the USA network. I always watched no matter how many times i had already watched it.

[@louabraham7708]

At 1 minute in this video, Kelli Maroney has a stack of albums in her hand. That's me at the lower right on the one in front! 🤩

[@AdrianMendoza23]

This has been on my to-watch list for ages,. I need to check it out

[@shallendor]

It is a great and fun film! Mary Woronov is one of the hottest actresses, best looking when she was playing Calamity Jane in Deathrace 2000!

[@thezoneschannel]

Rented this back in the day. Great review as always.🥰

[@Johnny1864]

You guys always manage to hit me in the nostalgia...

[@miikasuominen3845]

Remember this one, from my youth :) Excellent!

[@StephonDodd]

Hey Gary, Jess and Iain! 👋🏾😄

[@charmcshane3517]

The empty street scenes were shot on CHRISTMAS MORNING. They had no budget to close streets/hold traffic😮 That's per CMS!

[@Burner-B]

When you talk about how this wasn't a Kubrick type movie where they do a couple hundred takes, all I can think of is 'yah, I would rather see a movie where the actors arent abused by a lunatix. Perhaps even enjoyed their job that day.'

[@edmonlessley4932]

One of my favorite 80s movies

You should do ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK/L.A.

[@StruggleReviewzTV]

Great Review! This is CLASSIC I hope you do Night Of The Creeps soon❤️

[@damianstarks3338]

This movie is 80s gold.

[@youreallyplaythat]

Licensing for the music was probably not expensive. I think they weren't original artist recordings. Cheaper to re-record pop songs some times.

[@johnw8578]

Nice review! Suggestions for more films: Salem's Lot (original) and Dog Soldiers.

[@OffTheShelfReviews]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2PRiqJ4ZrF3p6M&ab_channel=OffTheShelfReviews Would love to review Salem's Lot sometime, but here is Dog Soldiers :D

[@johnw8578]

@@OffTheShelfReviews Thanks!

[@StElna]

Good movie. Watched it a lot in the early 90s, in my early teens. Since we're doing Catherine Mary Stewart movies, how about reviewing The Last Starfighter?

[@darksiderulz52]

If you're to young to have experienced it, and you want a small taste of the 80's, turn off your cell phone and at around midnight, watch this movie. In my opinion you'll get a small glimpse into that time.

[@hollywoodnights]

Absolutely love this film! Let's face it... who hasn't wondered what it would be like to wake up one day and discover that most of the rest of humanity has disappeared/died!! Just me? lol Also recommend "The Quiet Earth" if you guys haven't seen it. Cheers!

[@LUCKO2022]

I wish that would happen now to be honest. Then I have the run of the planet for myself.

[@gowkie3940]

Another great episode chaps

[@jenniferbrewer5370]

Gods, it's been forever since I saw Night Of The Comet... 😉

[@shaunward923]

Great review guys as always. Any chance in the near future you could review Possessor? Love to hear your thoughts on it

[@MrEnergee1987]

1984 is the same year the original Karate Kid came out. Please review that

[@Exar_Kun]

Holy fucking shit I literally started thinking of this movie as I was trying to fall asleep last night and how much it scared the shit outta me as a kid.... As an adult my ultimate fear is the youtube algorithm......

[@christophertheriault3308]

Not sure why they keep saying the comet zombies are haphazard. It was made pretty clear by the film that it depends on your initial exposure and your general resistance. Jeffrey Lewis even has a line along the lines of "we're not all robots that are going to fall over at the same time."

[@misterwillguitar]

I arent sure if I have seen this, Ive definitely heard of it though! But awesome review sirs! as always!!!!

[@noneed4me2n7]

Always down for a rewatch, oh girl power for reals. Doesn’t feel forced.

[@scottmac2186]

Dunno why 😉 but reminds me of sugs from madness lol at 22:25

Love night of the comet I remember seeing it on USA up all night I was 9 in 1993 they also showed private Benjamin as well 😈

[@pooie_Louie]

A fun movie

[@FalkZad]

This is going to be good!

For a cheesy 80s flick, I think I'm gonna enjoy this one! Nice recommendation! GREAT REVIEW! 👍

[@cs77smith67]

They should make a horror movie 🎥 on bacteria 🦠 that grow into the same size of a human.

[@kylecurry577]

A pure cheese 🧀 80s apocalyptic ,zombie,cannibal horror comedy cult classic B-movie...& a lot of fun. Very watchable! Impressive makeup for the budget. I loved playing “Tempest” back in the day. Agreed, very much like “Day of The Triffids “. Didn’t know that the characters inspired “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”,interesting. Yes definitely.

[@MrDman21]

I just watched this on Tubi about 2 weeks ago. I know people always say stuff from the 80s is dated, newsflash! All the crap that comes out now will be dated in 30 years. It's called time 😏 anyway, it's a fun little flick.

[@boomstickcritique902]

I liked this one for being a fun 8os B movie I actually think you probably could honestly do a modern more serious Remake of this one or even an old SciFi throwback movie Remake made in Modern times.

[@davidpadilla3025]

Hey guys, it's your fan from Spanish Harlem in NYC. Been a while, I'm glad you guys did Night of the Comet, a classic 80's movie. Keep rocking guys and keep up the great work. Peace.

[@Ski-4257]

Where’s Ian???

[@aenamabag]

I'm getting more and more pissed out about the lack of negative (honest) reviews of this movie. I feel like everyone on the internet is gaslighting me into thinking this is somehow a good or competent film.

[@birtangooner4730]

👍🎬🎥👊

[@stillhammered3060]

Maybe I am remembering this wrong but I thought it turned out the younger sister had some kind of immunity. Or maybe I am just remembering it wrong.

[@1970deejay]

They live review 👽😎

[@G_Elektrik]

A product of the 80's, and they want to put a lot of stuff in the movie, despite the low production and budget, and they manage to tell this history where is the two sisters what make the movie work and relate to those character, but is very cheesy anyway

[@guroeater]

Brilliant film. Keep trying to get my friends to watch but the 80s cheese puts them off idk why.

[@redskinblazer]

pre-CGI films are challenging to produce. But unlike ALIENS (Alien 2), this film has been forgotten; would have been a great and supposedly a classic one as its story is good for blockbuster-type, but poorly written.

[@thecaptain4512]

Would love to see a review over bad times at the el royale. Truly a delight of a film.

[@jakey20022]

just a classic or Cult classic ?!?!
