Invasion was written by
Cynthia Curnan.
Invasion is a movie that brings forth an innovative approach to film. Other than
the opening and closing scenes with the reporter, the entire movie is shot
through a dash-cam mounted in a deputy's car, capturing the events of one night.
The only other variation is when the "picture-in-picture" is activated, allowing
the deputy to visually communicate with headquarters. Much of the dialogue is
heard throughout the film without actually seeing the actors portraying the roles.
Deputy Brick Bardo is patrolling the wooded area of Lawton County when he is
flagged down by a man whose truck has broken down. His phone has gone dead,
so Bardo offers to call a tow truck for him.
Just then, Deputy Ben radios in from headquarters that a local man, Jenkins, has gone missing. His wife
reported that his phone went dead when she was talking to him. He had told her that a meteorite had
almost struck him. He reported that he felt something
moving inside of him just as she lost contact with him.
Deputy Ben also reported that a local doctor reported a
meteorite hit, then contact was lost with him. Deputy
Ben asks that Bardo try to locate Jenkins.
Bardo comes across Jenkins' truck, but no Jenkins. Just then, a zombie-like Jenkins appears and attacks
Bardo and we see something resembling a worm crawl into his ear. Bardo has a few little convulsions,
but climbs back into his patrol car and reports that all is fine with Jenkins. Ben asks if he is OK since his
voice is so different. All the while several more meteors have been falling.
Laurie O’Brien as the Reporter breaking the
story of the invasion in Lawton County.
Through the dash-cam we see the
setting unfolding and the man
flagging down Deputy Bardo, who
will come back to deal with the
kids on Lover's Lane later.
He comes across the truck belonging to
Jenkins, but can't find him. Suddenly a
zombie-like Jenkins appears and attacks
Bardo, spreading the infection to him.
Bardo heads back to deal with the kids,
where Timmy, the Mayor's son, tells him
to leave them alone. Bardo attacks him,
turning him into a zombie, then taunts
Cheryl who manages to escape in bardo's
patrol car.
At the advice of Deputy Ben, Cheryl
tries to get out of the area, but the
only road out is blocked by zombies
Timmy and Bardo. They have
attacked the man with the broken
down truck and the tow truck
driver, and are now after her.
Deputy Ben suddenly arrives on the scene where instead of saving her, he attacks her with
Timmy and the other zombies looking on.
