A small Texas town begins to experience true terror as first goats are killed and then people. Immediately, people begin thinking of El Chupacabra, the Mexican legend of the Goatsucker that drains goats of their blood. There are several groups we see react to the terror. We have the towns founding family, a group of teens, and some the local Mexicans. There is a lot of anti-Mexican sentiment by some of the characters but the wisest character in the film is a Mexican vet.

Don't expect to see a whole lot of the monster. It is quick and deadly. The best view we get is when a bimbo tries to distract it by flashing her chest. Although the reports say victims bodies are drained, the action shows mangling. This monster film is framed a collection of some of the goofiest characters around. The town's founding family is currently made up of an undertaker and his wife, their daughter, and two almost circus freak relations. They apparently have no standing in town. Most of the rest of the town is no better (get a load of the Sheriff and Deputy). The only exceptions are the Mexicans. Although looked down on by most of the town they are the most normal. So add a monster with some reasonable effects and a Stephen King-style narration to this mix of characters and you get a pretty memorable monster flick. Check it out.

Well, it really is a fun ride. I thought it was well put together for a B-movie. If you don't like B Movies, you probably won't like this one. But if you like movies like "Lewis and Clark Trail of Blood" or "The Creeping Terror" you'll like this on.

Can't go wrong with a film that's title already pays tribute to one of the greatest werewolf films of all time. Mexican Werewolf in Texas brought the monster horror film back to the desert. Not since the original Tremors has a film done this much to bring a local urban legend to the silver screen. Fun solid B-Movie for a good night in. Thank you Maverick for another gem of a film.

There is only one thing I want to know about this movie. Were the actors selected from a High School talent show play?

Okay, it wasn't that good as far as werewolf movies go, but to me the worse part of it was the actors and their accents. I don't mean to disrespect anyone with an accent, but these people sounded like they had Irish accents that were really tough to follow. I couldn't understand more than half of what they were saying. I actually believe it would have done better with subtitles.

An over narrated story that must be of the lowest beget.

In the small Texas town of Furlough an unseen (better that way) force is munching on goats. The son of the local vet, Miguel (Gabriel Gutierrez) thinks it is Chewbacca oops I mean Mexican werewolf Chupacabra that is supposed to have a hankering for cabrito. Unfortunately for the local promiscuous teens Chupacabra's dietary repertoire is expanding.

Mean time a father, Mr. Furlough, a pillar of society, has an exotic scheme to curb his daughter's wanton ways and remove the object of her lust who just happened to be Miguel.

Can the town dispatch the Chupacabra?
Will Mr. Furlough dispatch Miguel?
Will Chupacabra get his goat?

This film certainly got mine.

this "movie" was just plain awful! i rented it because the cover and the title looked and sounded ridiculous. i enjoy "good, bad" movies. this was just atrocious! as for the other reviewer, if i had a relative in this "movie", i would never have told anyone, period!

I am a horror movies fan, and the ONLY reason I got this piece of trash's DVD is that it's cover had a "Winner of the blah blah award in the blah blah film festival", and usually, movies that win a prize are good to watch, well I hate to say, I wasted my time & my money.
Do NOT WATCH IT, even if you dont have anything else to do, go to sleep or do anything else.

I thought this one would hold suite to 'An American Werewolf In London", becuz of it's title of course, but it was NO where near AAWIL, or any werewolf movie for that matter. I don't even think it was really a werewolf-It came out in the daylight. Horror-ble!!!

Scary and fun! I love it and you should definetly buy it! This movie is definetly scary though if you live near or on a farm though. BE CAREFUL!!! All in all, excellent.
That, and my grandmother was the preacher in this movie!!! GO GRANDMA JUDY!!
buahaha
