Night of the Comet (Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray]
Description
It s the first comet to buzz the planet in 65 million
years, and everyone seems to be celebrating its imminent arrival. Everyone,
that is, except Regina Belmont (Catherine Mary Stewart, The Last Starfighter)
and her younger sister Samantha (Kelli Maroney, Chopping Mall), two Valley
Girls who care more about fashion trends than the celestial phenomenon. But
upon daybreak, when the girls discover that theyre the only residents of Los
Angeles whom the comet hasnt vaporized or turned into a zombie, they do what
all good Valley Girls do…they go shopping! But when their day of malling
threatens to become a day of mauling, these gals flee with killer zombies and
blood-seeking scientists in hot pursuit! Set Contains: Scream Factory’s
presentation of Night of the Comet should please its legion of admirers with a
wealth of entertaining extras produced specifically for this Blu-ray/DVD combo
release. The discs boast not one but three commentary tracks that provide a
vast amount on the picture’s conception and execution. Leads Catherine Mary
Stewart and Kelli Maroney provide a breezy overview of their performances on
their track, as well as the challenges in maintaining the picture’s eclectic
tone, while director Thom Eberhardt focuses largely on production anecdotes,
most notably the struggles inherent to all low-budget features and the
differences between the original idea and the completed product. That’s not to
say that Eberhardt’s comments are strictly business–he offers a lively and
entertaining track that should prove both entertaining and informative to
Comet scholars, as will the set’s third track by veteran production designer
John Muto, who mentions some of the more eclectic credits on his CV, including
Forbidden Zone and Galaxy of Terror, as well as mainstream efforts like Home
Alone. Stewart and Maroney are also featured in a half-hour interview segment
that touches on their own long careers in films and on television, while
costar Robert Beltran and special effects creator David B. Miller (A Nightmare
on Elm Street) are featured in their own brief interviews. Fans of Beltran’s
work in the cult favorite Eating Raoul will be happy to hear the actor’s
reminiscences about that project and his reunion with star Mary Woronov in
Comet. A theatrical trailer for the film and two galleries of promotional and
production stills round out this enjoyable combo set. –Paul Gaita
