Spike fighting aliens from outerspace in the Old West?  How can you say no to this cheese?

James Marsters (Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, also more recently, Piccolo in Dragonball Evolution) stars in this SyFy channel original flick where “voracious alien bugs invade an Old West town”.

According to SyFy:

Marsters plays a guilt-ridden, lovelorn man who’s preparing to die when he’s called upon to be a hero and help save the town.

Marsters talks about shooting this alien western:

“That was a fun shoot.  We filmed that in Romania. It’s a love story in a cowboy town. It’s about a man who killed too many Indians. He burned too many villages and couldn’t live with himself anymore. He comes into town to get hanged, because he’s also been robbing trains, and he finds that the woman he abandoned is living in that town.”

“The SCI FI Channel had been sending me scripts for a while, and this is one that stuck out and that I thought could really move.  The director and I were really clear on [the idea] that the whole thing was all about propulsion, that it was about getting from A to B, that it was all about huffing and sweating and panic. We didn’t want to be safe and calm about how we shot it. So, frankly, we really had to count on the camera crew to follow a lot of motion. It just meant a lot of cuts and bruises and dings. But I think we got it. I saw quite a lot of it when we went to do some looping, and it looks pretty panicked.”

Get ready for some alien-battling action in “High Plains Invaders” this Sunday at 9/8 C.
