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.

Viewing Notes
Why not another Albert Pyun tonight? And another Pyun flight I had never heard of yet discovered on Instawatch. Interesting use of one-directional found footage and I appreciate that it does not deviate. Other than the bumpers the entire film is shot from the camera of a police car. Not sure I quite understand the “invasion” aspect as it appears some type of weird virus or alien thing has infected people like zombies. But instead of eating the person they flash some kind of light into their brain. Hard to tell w/the low light camera angle.
Anyways not a bad little thriller. Not crazy about it but it does what it does effectively. I think others might enjoy this more than me.
