What a waste of my time!!!

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Oh dear god, what is this? Never in my life have I seen acting this bad...well, actually I have, but that's beside the point. The monster looks nothing like the creature of Hispanic folklore, or even the creature on the cover. The art shows the creature as looking like some type of dog, but the movie monster looks more like some kind of fish like demon. What's hilarious as well is that they use CGI effects to show the cruise ship the movie takes place on, and on the creature as well. However, it is only CGI when the creature moves quickly (though not quicker than an average person could move), and then it's not CGI at other parts of the movie. The captain is a likable character, but the rest of the cast can go down with the ship in my opinion.

There is really nothing new about this Sci-Fi horror movie. Basically, a creature known as a Chupacaba, which resembles a large lizard and ugly dog, is smuggled onto a cruise ship. Interestingly, this animal in real life has been debated as to its origins. Some say it is urban legend, some say it is an extremely rare mammal know as a carnivore that preys on warm blooded mammals. You decide what to believe.This story is predictable. This Chupacaba is about five times normal size with a lust for human flesh. It escapes on the ship, putting crew and passengers in danger. A scientist specializing in Cryptozoology wants to trap the creature, but to keep it alive for research studies. Everyone else wants it dead.The movie is very low-budget and has almost a cheesy MTV feel to it. There is plenty of violence and gore when the Chupacaba kills. However, what makes this movie bearable to watch is there is good suspense and momentum throughout most of the picture. Watch for the role of the ship's Captain. He is amazing good and professional in this movie, with a certain flair of sophistication that you would not expect from a B-grade movie such as this. His acting and the suspense on the ship maintained my interest.The special effects are also better than expected. Chupacabra Terror, while no horror classic, has enough good elements for a once around Friday or Saturday night popcorn suspense movie when nothing else is worth seeing during the time it is showing. Under these conditions, give it a view. You will generally find it on either the Sci-Fi or Chiller channel.

I didn't like this movie for so many reasons I can't even say then all.I thought it was poorly made just because of the whole story line. I mean who is gonna believe that they captured the chupacabra and it broke loose on a cruise liner. LAME!!! It was all right for a lame straight to video movie,but not worth spending money on it. I can't believe someone actually gave this movie a ten. But I guess there are people that like this movie. I gave this movie a 2 instead of a 1 just because it was about the chupacabra and it had the guy off of lord of the rings. If you want to see this movie I would stay home and wait till it comes on sci-fi channel. DON'T waste your money on seeing this movie. Believe me.

Outlandishly zany utilization of the Chupacabras legend as a rampaging beast aboard a cruise ship. Movies with ghosts, monsters, etc. stowing away on cruise ships and looking for victims to rip to pieces have been popping up lately, perhaps due to the enclosed, claustrophobic environment that it provides for the beast-vs.-humans carnage.The legend of Chupacabras has it/them about the size of a garden gnome, yet the creature in this movie is man-sized. Some loony scientist wants to capture it for some reason. Study it for scientific value? Display it publicly as a carnival freak for quick money a la King Kong? Not certain, I was too busy laughing at how ludicrous the story was. Anyway, he does succeed in capturing it, and smuggles it aboard a cruise ship. Of course: mad scientists always smuggle vicious, bloodthirsty monsters aboard cruise ships, don't they?Bodies start piling up immediately. Meanwhile, we're introduced to about eight or so major characters, all having dinner at the Captain's table. Speaking of meals, it takes about two seconds to figure out who in this group will wind up as Chupacabra's breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, dessert, and so on.The movie is action packed; I'll give it that, and it ends up being entertaining, in spite of the goofiness. There are some plot and character contrivances, usually to set up the next victim's encounter with the creature. Plenty of battles with the creature ensue; some with gory scenes, and others are downright ridiculous. It seems like the characters throw everything but the kitchen sink at this thing to kill it, and come up with some remarkably creative ideas. The story is paced surprisingly well, and the actors really take the whole thing seriously, or try to.The kung fu scene has to be seen to be believed, and is worth the price of admission, all by itself. Riotously fun, and good for a cheap laugh.
