A meteor is about to hit earth, but gouvernment and NASA have been lieing about its trajectory, which is why much of the population hasn't prepared for an eventual fall-out and has arranged big meteor parties instead. Billy (Chris Giese), whose family has owned a funhouse for generations, has prepared though, and converted the whole place into a bunker long ago. So he takes his friends Gordon (Jed Rowen), Cassie (Tasha Tacosa) and young Ida (Remmy Jones) - and he would have taken more, but none took the whole thing seriously enough - and they lock themselves inside to live through whatever may be thrown at them. First tensions arise when Ida desparately wants to go outside to look for her family, but just opening the door would let enough radiation in to kill them all, so eventually they have to shoot her dead, an event that leaves them all scarred. However, their real test comes a few months later (with ratiation levels already lower again) when a bunch of high risk convicts, accidently released by a gang of scavengers, breaks into the funhouse to take over, and all Billy and company have for their protections is the attractions their horror-themed funhouse has to offer ...

Richard Grieco can be seen as a fellow survivor who's in constant radio contact with Billy and warns him of the prison escapees, genre fave Michael Berryman plays one of the scavengers who free the prisoners, and B movie veteran Vernon Wells is a scientist who predicts the impact early on.

 

Now admittedly, the first act that's setting the premise up drags a bit too much and hammers its point home too bluntly, and makes Billy come across as a bit of an obnoxious know-it-all, really. But once the characters go into lockdown and see their sanity and humanity slowly eroding is where things really get interesting, also when other characters are given center stage and prove to be damaged goods. Likewise, the temporary shift of the action to the prison does the film lots of good, and the finale in the fun house is properly creepy, all of which make this a very fine specimen of post-apocalyptic entertainment that's sure to please not only the genre fan.
