      Storyline

      Edit
      A meteor carrying an unknown infection, lands outside a Small Californian community, bringing terror and death. Just after midnight, a local rancher named Larry Jenkins discovers the meteor and calls the police. Inspector Bardo is sent to the scene to investigate. The small Lawton police department is short-handed, as it is the night of the high school prom. Arriving at a desolate forest road miles out of town, Bardo discovers that Jenkins has been infected by the alien organism. The officer is savagely attacked and infected. Both men head towards Lawton, terrorizing and contaminating everyone they encounter. Meanwhile, Cheryl and Timmy have left the prom and are parked atop Lover's Lane. Bardo comes upon the lovebirds and attacks them, infecting Timmy. Now Cheryl must run for her life through the pitch-black forest, escaping her pursuers and trying to reach the authorities before the infection spreads to L.A. —Anonymous

      Creepy and nightmarish
      This movie is the most original horror film I have ever seen. It was so unpredictable that it really made me squirm. There's a overwhelming sense of dread right from the start even though everything seems humdrum normal. It almost has a documentary feel to it. Because you can't predict what's next and because the actors don't play the characters as stereotypes, the feeling of dread just keeps growing and growing until it does get almost unbearable. And the one shot gimmick really makes the film scarier because there is no relief and because its all from a police car camera you can't see what's outside of your view but you sure do hear it! The sound and music was outstanding and so were the actors who seemed like real people caught up instead of the typical sweat faced and blood covered actress you see running around chased by the typical (pick one knife, chainsaw, sadistic torture device) carrying maniac. It was how the film did what you couldn't see that made me so scared and paranoid. Just a very clever and inventive film. My negatives would be the title Invasion, which is about as unimaginative as it can be and I wish there were a few more incidents so the viewer can catch their breath. Bravo to this film.
