"The burden of civilization is upon us"
29 March 2014
Two valley girl sisters (Catherine Mary Stewart, Kelli Maroney) wake up to find that a passing comet has wiped out most of the life on Earth. All that's left where people used to be are piles of red dust. Oh, except for some zombielike mutants, a truck driver named Hector, and some shady scientist types up to no good.

Catherine Mary Stewart is one of the prettiest women ever. Kelli Maroney is super cute and likable. Both girls are lots of fun and believable as sisters. Mary Woronov and Geoffrey Lewis are great as two of the bad scientists. Robert Beltran (who?) plays Hector and oddly receives top billing. Perhaps it wasn't odd in 1984 but now it seems strange he would be billed above Stewart, Woronov, or Lewis. I'll concede Maroney since this is the biggest thing she ever did. Anyway, Beltran's good like the rest of this terrific cast. Funny script with lots of memorable lines. Post-apocalyptic movies have never been more pleasant.
