Crotchety Old Critic I realized before watching this movie that it was an amateur film, the budget was low, and the acting was not going to be top notch. However, this wasn't the case with this movie. Rather this movie was was prime, grade A garbage! First of all, the most basic laptops have video editing equipment. This movie wasn't edited in any way. I realize the director was attempting to do something different by making a (supposedly) constant, no break or cut in the film. Newsflash: it didn't work. Camera tricks could've been used to make it APPEAR that there were no breaks in the film like what Alfred Hitchcock did in his movie, 'Rope'. Would've made a quicker paced, evenly flowed film. Next, why is there a music score in a film that is supposedly 'reality'? It was completely out of place. Such films like The Blair Witch, Crow's Next, VHS doesn't have one. If this wasn't shot in the manner that it was in, then a musical score would've been acceptable. But in this case, it jacked up the movie even more.Lastly, the atrocious acting the dragged on like fingernails on a blackboard. It seemed as if the actors weren't responding appropriately to the post production audio. It was such distraction, it was so laughable.In conclusion: this is a 'D' movie that isn't worth watching to laugh or make fun at; it's really just a waste of time.

ZombieRanger I found this as a used rental, and only had a vague knowledge of the plot. I was actually quite surprised at the overall quality of the movie. It helps a lot if you know in advance that the movie is something of a gimmick, shot entirely on a dash-mounted cruiser cam. If you're alright with that aspect of it, it's probably going to live up to your expectations. Most of my complaints are the end result of this style. There are long stretches of the movie where nothing happens, which would make sense, as this is supposed to be shot in real time. There are also a lot of repetitive moments; Girl tries to escape park, cars/infected block road, girl screams, frantic driving away. Some of the acting is questionable, such as the doctor we meet only as a voice, his accent felt pretty fake. I initially disliked the heroine and the deputy over the radio, though they did win me over by the end of the movie. There are also a few underwhelming cg effects, which occasionally give away the budget restrictions, but they keep them brief and they're mainly used to better convey what's happening when someone is infected. Most of the story is told through voice-overs and sound effects, and at parts it feels like a radio drama, which made the movie effectively creepy in parts. The film is almost entirely lit by headlights(probably augmented by spotlights), and if you've never been stranded in the middle of nowhere with only some shaky headlights, you'll know how spooky that can get at night. It's not a perfect movie, but it kept me engaged, and considering how this movie was shot and the movie spent on it, I was genuinely impressed, and I wondered how much better this would have fared if they had released it under a less generic title.

Misteriomag32 I spotted the DVD on a store near my home, and since I'm a "cheesy horror movie/alien flicks" addict, I wondered how good it was. It even had two award mentions on the cover (I don't remember what festival it won) so I figured "Hey this might be good". So I bought it (for five euros) and I came here to IMDb to check out some reviews. Here, either people bashed the movie to say it was bad, or people said the movie was a wonderful feat in indie movies bla, bla. I then played the DVD, not thinking about any review I had read, with an open mind, and not expecting anything at all.Man... I don't' like being this critical, but the movie was genuinely bad... OK, I'm just going to give out some pointers of what I thought:1-Acting/dialog: The acting was so confusing... sometimes the actors did a decent job, but there were scenes were I could spot no effort at all from them! The dialog was even worst... I think it was probably the aspect I most disliked in the whole movie. The talking in between characters seemed... off. Not just bad, but far away from the actual happenings in the movie. The monologues of the female character, although well delivered, became boring and annoying in a little while... But of course the most ridiculous aspect was the... "aliens" or the "infected"... I wont even comment on that one, just going to say that it was absolutely ridiculous and took the entire mood away from the picture; 2-Visuals: the strongest aspect in the movie... if you forget the awful FX and light flashes they used to simulate explosions or what the hell they were supposed to be. The "camera in car" aspect was quite cool actually, but they didn't even used the environment to inspire fear or dread. They left that to cheap sound and video FX and the three "infected" characters. The movie becomes boring in so many scenes...; 3-Sound: Talk about editing... this movie has no problems in showing how weakly edited it was. From computer sounds imitating the forest animals to the "alien dialog"... ah...So what did I like in the movie... (SPOILERS) the only thing I really liked and it was actually quite scary was the succession of two scenes where the car is still and you spot something/someone walking in a distant. At first I really thought it was me seeing things, but when the character realizes that the "figures" coming towards her were her own reflection, I was surprised! Pretty creepy idea done well! Apart from that... I had an awful time.And I don't recommend this to anyone... not even "teen get together" because you can't even laugh at this...I give it a solid 2. Only some technical achievements worked here... apart from that... yeah... nothing

perezg36 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.
