Summary: 

If "Night of the Comet" is really the worst movie you've ever seen, you haven't
seen very many movies at all.  Sure, it's pretty feeble, but it's not 
perniciously bad.  It's just a cheap attempt to cash in on both sf films and
"Night of the Living Dead".  The plot is stupid, they don't bother to 
rationalize the science (much), no one except Mary Woronov acts with any
conviction, the special effects are cheap and minimal, the directing is
unfocussed, but, hey, it's just an exploitation film, and most exploitation
films are about this bad.
