Well, what could you expect from an ultra low budget Mexican horror/sci-fi direct to video flick? The plot centers around the mythical "chupacabras" a so believed alien being that sucks animals' blood leaving no evidence but two large and sharp tooth marks. David Reynoso's character comes to the place of the attacks and begins the hunt for the infamous "chupacabras".

The acting is beyond awful. David Reynoso is the best actor in the movie and that's something to say. Lina Santos as always looks damn hot but we know that acting isn't one of her skills. The rest of the cast is simply terrible.

The ending is MST3000 material. Mexican army plush a commando team lead by Reynoso shot the Chupacabras race to death. The monster looks so cheesy you think it's a comedy.

Well, watch it only if you have a tremendous hang over or if you are lover of HORRIBLE movies.

I expected a lot from this movie.

I found this movie on the internet and like a good chavorruco I started watching it without much desire to watch it at the same time.

The 70's type special effects give a particular touch to the film, undoubtedly doing a great favor to the plot, as we see that little by little the film goes from bad to terrible.

It has some "recognized" actors from those years and frankly I think the most important were Jorge Reynoso and Miguel Angel Rodriguez, who give a fresh touch to a film that, as I mentioned before, leaves a lot to be desired.

In itself it's not a bad idea, it's just a kind of copy of Predator combined with Mexican legends.
