A unique mixture of horror and comedy. I found it refreshing especially for the budget but it is not a masterpiece.

I found it refreshing especially for the budget but it is not a masterpiece. The story evolves around a rare transition of a comet which happen only every 65 million years. Anyone with knowledge about Dinosaurs will say “Wait a minute. That time span is familiar” ;-). However the two sisters Regina ans Samantha care not much about the event and will be surprised on the next morning. It is hard to navigate around the spoilers and even Metacritic seems not to care in its description. The movie is unique in its set up to be remembered. Also the characters, humor and moral dilemma was more than enough to kept me watching. The cast is excellent and the main characters played by Catherine Mary Steward and Kelli Maroney should be praised. For the effects I will say for a 700.000 $ movie they did also a fantastic job. They manage to create dread and fear. Do not expect this to be on the same lever as bigger production (Even if more modern movies fail in that regard). The humor works well and they manage that the serious and humorous parts don't harm each other. Overall I think this is worth to watch for the unique setting, characters and story. An entertaining movie that is memorable. I give an 8/10.… Expand
