Reggie wakes up the night after Halley's comet returns and discovers that almost everybody in town is dead, vaporized by the comet. The ones who didn't die have been turned to zombies or eaten by the zombies. Reggie heads for home where she finds just Samantha, her sister. Sam is completely unaware of what happened until Reggie shows her.
They argue about what to do but then they hear a voice on the radio. The sisters go to the radio station. There they meet Hector, a truck driver who was passing through the area. There is no DJ at the radio station. It was just a recording. Samantha messes with the broadcasting equipment and is heard by a group of scientists in a bunker.
Hector takes off and goes to San Diego to see if his mother is ok. He finds her home but she isn't there. He gets attacked by a zombie that used to be a young boy. Hector escapes the zombie and heads back to Los Angeles.
Reggie and Samantha go to a mall to have fun. Reggie was concerned about Samantha and hopes that this will lift her spirits. They have fun dressing up and trying on various outfits when they get attacked by some guys who used to work in the mall. The girls put up a fight but they are eventually captured.
The scientists come looking for the girls. They find them chained up. The guards with the scientists kill the guys who captured them. They take Reggie back to their base but a couple of them stay behind. One of the scientists gives Samantha an injection. It looks like it kills her but it turns out later it just simulated death.
Reggie quickly finds out that the scientists are going to treat her and some other survivors like research subjects. They tell her that Samantha is dead. Hector returns. They kill most of the scientists and escape.
This is a weird movie. I want to say that it is bad but it is also really weird. The further it goes the weirder it gets. It doesn't conform to all the usual formulas that movies about post apocalyptic situations usually espouse.
