Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Chase_Witherspoon A film crew from the University of the Rio Grande is formed to investigate the strange presence of the "Chupacabra" (or goat sucker), a mythical creature that has been implicated in the killing of livestock and the death of the crew leader's (Joiner) uncle in a small town in Texas. While local authorities have attributed the deaths to an unidentified "animal attack", Joiner is convinced it's the work of the Chupacabra and her personal vendetta leads the crew into a deadly encounter in which they attempt to trap and capture the animal for scientific purposes. Told as a documentary, with snippets of expert commentary interspersed, the movie looks like a student film shot entirely on a camcorder and while that element arguably lends 'authenticity' to the narrative concept, it doesn't bode well for mainstream film audiences, who will likely find this too amateurish to digest.The acting is mostly very poor, with Joiner the key culprit, her performance is stilted, the dialogue she delivers at times forced and unconvincing. Despite being supposedly isolated (which McKinney, as the hulking ex-marine reinforces several times), as they prepare to take-on the ferocious Chubacabra, inconceivably, no one has a mobile phone (it's set in 1997), and for some reason, the constant traffic that is audible to the viewer, is ignored by the cast, as if it doesn't exist. Disappointingly, director Castro has left too many plot holes open with his storyline, and the end result is tedious and inadequate.Special effects deserve some credit in part, notably the scene in which McKinney is dispatched is utterly grotesque and fully effective but unfortunately, it's a standard that is applied inconsistently throughout the movie, with the Chupacabra itself looking like some twit dancing around in a martian outfit. Ahead of the game in terms of the subject matter (it's Chupacabra fever in film land) but if you want to learn more about the Chupacabra folklore, this won't necessarily be the best place to enquire.

doomsyer To start off, I am not sure if this is the right movie or not. I rented Blood Thirst: Legend of the Chupacabra from the local BB and this is what popped up when punched it into IMdB. I have seen some of Castro's other movies, so I am sure I am not too far off.Well, the movie I saw was a total borefest. Crappy acting, crappy filming, and extremely crappy effects, lack of any gore. Every time something would happen, the camera would fade off. This film also had CGI effects that could have been made by a 6th grader.Again, this is probably not the same movie since the one I watched was not a mockumentary like the Blair Witch project. This movie was just a total waste of time and as scary as an episode of Goosebumps. I take that back, goosebumps is scarier.

orc0294 This movie had very little good points, the special effects and acting was horrible for sure. But it was a movie made on a low budget so you dont expect much from it, it does have some laughs (I doubt they are intended though :) ). The scene where the old woman bends down and touches dung that was on the floor, then puts it to her nose and goes CHUPACABRA! in a really stupid raspy voice was priceless. All in all if you have nothing else to watch and just want to laugh at a really crappy flick trying to cash in on the Blair Witch Project's success, then grab it other then that dont bother.

redw1ng If you like bad movie "classics" like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, or Killer Klowns from Outer Space, then this movie is for you! I give it a full 5 groans (and several hearty laughs)! :-)From the rubber monster suit, to the red & corn syrupy "blood", to the oh-my-gawd-awful acting... This movie is guaranteed to bring tears to your eyes (in one way or another)!! ;-)
