Rise of the Chupacabras

I was watching the movie, and suddenly in the background of the scene at 49:47, there is some guy in white clothes walking around in the background of the shot.

It almost looks like he is walking to a cooler for a cold refreshing drink!

I am sorry but this movie made me laugh. It was so stupid, it actually made me laugh! The acting was so bad, it was funny. My mom and I rented this film because we saw the video case and thought it looked good and scary. We should have known better.

Everyone in this movie was so ugly! It was a movie of ugly people except for the one waitress girl who was somewhat decent. The gypsy's hair changed. In one scene, it was white, in the next it was brown, and in the next it was white again. Oops, someone forgot their wig! And then that hilarious music in the news room with all the ugly people! LOL! And also, no one can forget that man in the sheep nightie and the barn boots. Wow, somebody has issues. And then at the beginning when it showed all of the farm animals and u can tell that people were making the noises! Also, there were so many people in this film, after a while, they all looked the same ~ UGLY! If you want a funny/stupid movie, this is a must. However, if u want something scary, STAY AWAY! A good scary movie is Dead End, rent it and like it. It was excellent!

I can't stop laughing from reading the other reviews posted here. Seriously folks, you need to write scripts or something else but write because the reviews make this movie worth seeing, again.

I rented this movie because I was told that Chupacabras were abnormally large goats that sucked the blood from Mexicans. I was completely sold just from see the word Chupacabras and then when I saw the picture on the DVD cover, I was in heaven.

I gathered my best friend and my boyfriend and we started to watch this movie about a journalist who's publisher husband won't give her any real stories at the paper they both own and operate. Then one day, news of a Chupacabras comes in and he decides to give her the story. I couldn't stop laughing. After that the story got worse and worse and worse. Until we had to stop watching. But I did promise myself I would return someday and give it another go. I couldn't finish Magnolia the first time, either. Or Chinatown. Or Mullholland Drive. All movies that I now own on DVD and love. Who knows? This movie may join their ranks somedays!!! Maybe not but who's to say? I think they should do a special extended edition of the film (like The Lord of The Rings editions) and include the reviews from here since they are really funny.

Long live indie film-making and filmmakers!!!

This was a waste of time. Unless you dig the myth of El Chupacabra, don't attempt this film. It's loaded with bad acting (by a cast who is all related to each other somehow) and worse directing. Basically, when there isn't any action going on in a scene, the director throws up scenes shot on the water or of the sky or whatever else doesn't have to seep into their (probably) nonexistent budget. Also I saw microphones for the actors in at least 2 shots.

The good stuff is that the movie is arranged well, with all of the scenes having a good flow to them. The indie feel is definitely present in the music, being that they're happy with a synthesized accordion used in many scenes. And, for this sort of film, there was no nudity to back them up in scenes when nothing was going on...which I actually LIKED because that showed that they could keep some story (about a mythical creature controlled by some gypsy/white witch) going.

::PLOT REVEALED:: All in all, don't rent this garbage. You'll get angry that the awesome-looking creature on the coverbox isn't in the film at all (in fact, the creatures are nothing more than vampire-zombies controlled by the gypsy woman to create the myth of El Chupacabra). Only for fans and curious people looking to further create El Chupacabra in their minds.

A homemade, shot on video movie about a group of treasure seekers falling foul of the deadly and legendary chupacabra. There's no shortage of enthusiasm, but this is pretty dire stuff, with very wooden acting from the non-performers and occasional scenes of the characters being assailed by a lifesize CGI creature which are utterly laughable.
