High Plains Invaders is a 2009 American Western science fiction horror television film that aired on the Syfy Channel.

Dread Central wrote, "High Plains Invaders is an above average Syfy original, a pleasantly diverting Wild West creature feature worthy of a Saturday matinee viewing."

The computer animated bugs look fairly credible, which may be due in some small part to how inorganically metallic they are meant to look in the first place.

"[3] FEARnet said, "Screenwriter Richard Beattie seems to enjoy wading in the caricatured side of the genre pool, which means that each character is painted in rather broad brushstrokes.

This helps to keep High Plains Invaders from ever becoming too dreary or boring—but it also means the five main characters are left spouting dialogue that, even if it's 'cute,' it's still pretty damn familiar."
