Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Blistering performances.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

In the small, Texas town of Furlough, "where nothing ever happens", a strange creature is killing goats on a massive scale and the local citizens are baffled by what it could be. For starters, it isn't eating any of the meat but rather draining them of their blood. Further, the number of goats killed isn't normal for any particular species endemic to the area. And the people begin to get even more concerned when it starts attacking humans. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this particular film was definitely a low-budget operation and this was clearly highlighted by some of the special effects. Yet, in spite of the fact that it was actually filmed in California, I was extremely impressed by the amazingly accurate manner in which the characters of southern Texas were portrayed. Although perhaps not as openly apparent, the racism is really that strong and the younger generation definitely yearns to leave these towns at the first opportunity. Be that as it may, I thought the acting was adequate enough and I liked the manner which the horror was mixed with comedy here and there. In short, although this film clearly suffered from a lack of funding, the director (Scott Maginnis) improvised quite nicely and I have rated this film accordingly. Average.

A small Texas town is stalked by a predator which may be the legendary chubacabra. Meanwhile a frustrated teenage girl struggles to rise above her surroundings and forge a life for herself, while her father plots to murder his shrewish wife using the strange animalistic killings as a cover.If you're wondering what any of that has to do with a werewolf, you're not alone. Despite the deceptive title, this is not a werewolf movie, though that little bit of disingenuous marketing is the least of this film's problems. Anyone who watches horror/sci-fi/fantasy movies in any quantity finds some real losers now and then, but this is one of the worst, and probably the worst so-called "werewolf" film I've ever had the misfortune of sitting through. The effects are woeful, and although the various killings are gruesome they aren't very effective in terms of generating suspense. The monster--chubacapra, werewolf, whatever--is pretty pitiful, but not as pitiful as the script, acting, and directing. The characters are all incredibly unlikeable, especially our heroine, a slutty, self-righteous brat who thinks she's too good for her parents and basically everyone else but who is at least as bad as any of them. The only interesting aspect of the whole movie is the subplot involving the guy who wants to use the chubacabra killings to cover up murdering his wife, but this humorous plot point is only a fraction of the overall script and doesn't really go anywhere. To top it all off, the ending is a typical cheat. Who knows, maybe there was a sequel planned but fortunately we've been spared that...so far. I have no problem with low-budget b-movies and I realize such films face many obstacles, all of which may not be successfully overcome, but sometimes you see a movie so bad you have to wonder if the people involved even attempted to make anything decent. Trust me, no matter how much you like b-movies in general or werewolves in particular, this is one werewolf film you don't need to watch.

which to me was kind of a disappointment when I was in my local (crappy) videostore. I had honestly thought it was a unique werewolf design but what got me to purchase it was the title of the movie like American werewolf? So then after seeing the movie, I caught the humor of the title. This movie sux! But I gave it a 5 because it wasn't a bad suck. There was a certain attitude about the movie that was likable even the racist persona's of the white Texans against the Mexican Texans although vulgar, was what I would call accurate of a typical racist.I don't know, if they had a modern day version of USA Up all night, I can see this being on the play list.

I saw this movie at Shriekfest last year and this was one of the standouts. This is a fun popcorn horror film that the crowd was really into. It's a movie about the Chupacabra terrorizing a small town in Texas. I love that stuff like this is always on the Discovery channel asking if it's real or not. How much is urban myth? How much is rooted in truth and passed down for generations? Either way, this adds to the fun of the legend of Chupacabra. Though it's a low budget film, they did a lot with what they had. Very fun movie with some fun scares throughout. Go and enjoy this one.
