A small Western town finds themselves under attack by a race of mutant alien insects looking for a rare chemical found in the area and try to protect themselves from the creatures before they kill them off to get at the chemical.
This one turned out to be a pretty decent Sci-Fi Channel original but met with a bit more flaws than normal. Among the film's flaws here is the rather off pacing along the way here that tends to get really off-track quite easily with some useless divergents here. This starts here with the continued placement of the survivor's attempts to get away from being trapped in a building, so there's not a lot of attacks and confrontations, really resorting more to them sneaking around without being seen than having the bugs do away with them. Though this action is far more realistic a battle-plan considering the situation at present, that leaves this one with far too many scenes of the group running in the shadows or hiding behind the broken equipment as well as barricading themselves away formulating plans here that there's not a whole lot of time spent doling out attacks. Other problematic pacing issues are featured with the continued storyline about the condemned man seeking repentance every single time he's together with the others during a break from the bug action is a little tiring, the completely ridiculous feature of the bounty hunter more concerned with bringing criminals to justice rather than recognize the gravity of the situation and how nearly everyone is so concerned with apologizing rather than surviving their predicament which seems a tad off while holding off attempts at confrontations so the gore is almost gone and is rarely featured, a rather strange inclusion. Plus, the continuous double-crossing gets old the fifth time it happens and the reasoning for the bugs' arrival is nice if slightly rushed and seems like an afterthought, all of which hold this back. Still, this one had some really enjoyable action efforts here as the main attack sequence is nicely handled, with the strange beast walking into town resulting in a great gunfight as they try to stop it before it begins drilling into the ground while the later confrontations in the town as the group attempts to destroy them come off just as much fun with the explosive blasts and gunfights against the creatures who manage to fight back. After the break in the middle, it's got enough action on the back- end to justify it's break as there's the rather fun attack at the camp that leads into the trip back to town where the action into the finale which makes this one quite fun while it gets to the action scenes here. As well as the fact that the creatures themselves look good and get enough of a realistic touch here along with the actual plan to defeat them all being fine positives here, but it is a slightly-flawed effort.
