High Plains Invaders

D

One of the better Sci-Fi original movies. The concept's fun, the effects are decent, and the acting is better than you usually get in these movies (especially James Marsters, who does a great job here.)

Decent effects, but rather predictable, not very well thought out, and the characters suck - especially Sanny Van Heteren as a generic "I am woman, hear me roar" type bounty hunter with the shittiest accent I've heard in quite some time. I wanted her character to die, going against the stereotype. Or even better, that they had cast some other actress who can actually act and pull off the role, if such a thing were possible with how shoddy the writing must have been to make this heap.

James Marsters fights aliens in the old West... sounds fun, no? Unfortunately that's how far their ideas went, and the rest is just a clinically humour-free rip-off of Tremors. Yawn.
