very eerie and creepy, 11 June 2008
7/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

This is filmed all in one take from a supposed dash-mounted camera in a police vehicle. There's something going on involving meteorites landing in an isolated park area in Lawton, CA. The officer at the wheel, one Brick Bardo (!) is reporting back to base about what he's seeing on his patrol, and he stops to look for someone who has abandoned their truck & is attacked & "possessed" by something from this other man. He then proceeds to get back into the car & go back to where he saw two kids from the prom that were parked, and infects the boy but the girl grabs the car & takes off. Most of the rest of the film is the girl in the car, trying to get out of the park & facing all sorts of eerie scenarios as more and more people become infected, while she speaks with another deputy back at base. Reports from the deputy are that the townspeople seem to be infected. Really, there is not a lot to this film as far as action, gun play, or anything TOO wild, but it's pretty creepy in general and it's quite eerie and claustrophobic as the trapped girl goes round and round in the park looking for a way out that doesn't seem to exist. Comparisons to Blair Witch are probably inevitable but that film is either a love it or hate it film, and if you liked it you'll probably like this. But it's not quite the same thing, not at all. An interesting experiment from Albert Pyun. And by the way, the name "Brick Bardo" (the aforementioned officer) is the name used by Tim Thomerson's character in "Dollman". 7 out of 10.
