Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

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.

Crap_Connoisseur The Legend of the Chupacabra belongs to that sub-genre of Horror involving documentary filmmakers capturing horrific events before usually dying a very unpleasant death. These films range from the sublime ("Cannibal Holocaust") to the ridiculous ("The Blair Witch Project"). This film belongs to the latter category but it is far more entertaining than "The Blair Witch Project" because something actually happens in this movie - it does not simply involve an ugly woman speaking into a camera.The Legend of the Chupacabra can really only loosely be described as a horror movie. The film is in no way scary, just a little bit gross in the tried and true Troma fashion. Troma has distributed far better movies, but this one is camp and ridiculous enough to be worthy of carrying the Troma seal of approval. Apart from the mildly amusing spoof of "The Blair Witch Project", the main reasons to watch this film are the intentionally atrocious special effects and the amazing latex Chupacabra suit.The special effects in this film are a joy to behold. I haven't seen anything as crap-tastic as the paper-mache corpses that litter the Chupacabra's lair in a long time. Almost as funny are the fluffy toy animals used as slain goats and the severing of an obviously plastic arm. However, it is the breathtakingly obvious latex suit of the Chupacabra that deserves the most praise. The Chupacabra suit harks back to the creature effects of the 1950s. It must have involved literally minutes of not so meticulous work to design this amazing monster.The Legend of the Chupacabra never tries to be anything other than a high camp, B-Grade horror film. And for that I am truly grateful. This is far from Troma's best but genre fans will enjoy it regardless.

bill1500 We rented the movie and it maybe the worst movie ever. The box they had in the video store had a cool looking monster on the cover but in reality the monster was a creature from the black lagoon mask. Awful, awful, awful...you actually might have to rent it it's so bad. It feels like you are watching a bizzare-o home movie.

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.
