1.0 out of 5 stars
Laughably bad., August 18, 2006
I heard this one sucked. The Foywonder and Dr Gore tried to get that message thru, but it didn't work with me, as usual. So I rented it. And I'm sorry.
Some nutcase tries to transport two Chupacabras, a male and a female, to a facility in some gang-infested city in Mexico. At least, I think it's a gang-infested city in Mexico. Anyways, the male escapes and starts killing people.
It seems appearant to me that most of the film's budget went into making the two rubber Chupacabra suits, which are easily the best thing about this movie. But that isn't saying much. To say the script and direction are completely incoherant is an understatement. The acting isn't much better.
If you did something wrong and feel like you need to punish yourself, or if you want to torture someone, this is a good choice.

This movie is testimony to Amazon needing zero-star ratings, January 30, 2005
This has got to be one of the worst B-horror movie ever. Of course, no one expects a B-horror movie to be good or make sense, but this is ridiculous!
All throughout the movie, we have people doing things for no reason at all! We have the scientist who will do anything for science, including sacrifice people. We have the greedy man who will do anything for money, including sacrifice people. Then we have the good guys. We have the hero who will do anything to save people, including risk his life. We have the pretty girl's father who will do anything to save people, including risk his life.
My description may sound like an overexaggeration, but that is how it normally is with B-movies. All the bad guys act the same, all the good guys act the same, and there are generally two types of women. There's the bad ass female who can kick ass despite her rather small stature (and most of them have petite figures, so don't lie to yourself) and there's the female who actually acts like how she looks. In this movie, it's the latter but she gets to kick some ass later on in the movie. She fails miserably at it, but she does it.
The chupacabra itself is a rather big enigma. It growls loudly all the time, yet no one hears it. It mauls everyone it comes across, yet no one except the main people sees any dead bodies. It moves like it has a giant spring in its ass, yet it slows down when near someone and speeds up again when it's right next to them.
However, that is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem in this movie is that everyone and the chupacabra does things for no reason. The scientist decides to kidnap the admiral's daughter even though kidnapping someone else would have made it tremendously easier for him. The thief tells the soldiers that the heroes are dead for no obvious reasons. As a matter of fact, telling the soldiers the truth would have made things EASIER for him. Then there's the chupacabra itself. It really mauls EVERYONE it comes across! How can anything be hungry all the time? Even so, it never eats all of its victim. It swallows maybe a tiny part and then it moves on to something else. Why?
You guys should save yourself the agony of this movie. Nothing makes sense. In one scene, one of the soldiers will toss grenades all over the place, but almost NOTHING is destroyed! Please don't watch this. You'll thank me for it later.

Not quite a z-movie, May 21, 2004
El Chupacabra is by far, the worst movie I have seen in the last few years. Imagine a horror film where the "monster" looks like a retarded chimp that's been punched in the face a few too many times, and has fallen into a vat of green dye. In spite of the fact that it's less than 3 feet tall and moves like it's doing the potty dance in slow motion, it manages to kill several stupid humans that aren't smart enough to just kick it like a football and beat it with a stick. Sadly, the monster being on-screen is the highlight of this movie, as the acting is horrible. I rented this movie expecting a really bad, d-movie, and it exceeded my expectations by far.
