JOHN CARPENTER TALES OF SCI FI TWITCH (2018)

"The desert above Los Angeles is a harsh, unforgiving place. The heat does something to people's brains - or so thinks Lieutenant Ron Pinkerton, who is investigating a series of shockingly violent crimes perpetrated by the most unlikely suspects. Meanwhile, just a few miles away, astrophysicists at the Mount Wilson Observatory are grappling with another kind of threat, one that threatens to extinguish humanity in the time it takes for your eye to twitch."

"Astrophysicist Marisa Stringfellow broke out of the observatory thinking she'd be able stop an alien entity on the rampage in the Antelope Valley desert. Lieutenant Pinkerton, meanwhile, thinks Stringfellow may be suffering from heatstroke. 'How can you tell they're aliens?' Stringfellow replies, 'Because right before they kill you, they'll start to twitch '"

"An alien entity is slowly gathering material to build a hive mind - and your brain is on its wish list! It's up to the unlikely duo of an astrophysicist and an Los Angeles county sheriff to save humanity, one bullet at a time. But it's tough to aim straight when you can see dead people shambling toward you, and the end of the world just over the horizon, and your eyes begin to twitch..."

"It all ends here no, like, for real. The end of humanity as we know it. It begins in the Antelope Valley, and will soon spread into Los Angeles, from there the rest of the planet. Unless an ex-cop who hasn't fired a gun in 15 years can muster up the strength to step into the most dangerous place on Earth, facing the most hideous creatures imaginable, lining up a desperate long shot, praying her hand doesn't twitch."
