What critics compared Night of the Comet to
At least the American shock cinema that this film recalls, like 1984�s valley girl apocalyptic vision Night of the Comet, had a sense of fun.
Actually, I have, and it was called "Night of the Comet," an underrated gem from 1984 that married John Hughes to George A. Romero .
One has to go back to “Night Of The Comet” (1984) to find a movie that plays the apocalypse for laughs like this.
Boyle presents 28 Days Later as a low budget item shot on DV, purposely reminiscent of past zombie movies, especially a 1980s cult item known as Night of the Comet.
Beginning as a more earnest Night of the Comet before swiftly morphing into an episode of the Twilight Zone without sacrificing its you-are-there vérité, Coherence is a low-budget chamber drama that firmly puts the psychological screws to its characters.
Frankly, casting Nicholas Brendon (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) as Mike, a washed-up former “Roswell” co-star, is so meta-inspired that “Coherence” could have coasted into conventional riff on “Night of the Comet” and still satisfied fans.
