There’s not much more to say about the plot than what I already wrote. The story revolves around “Anna” (Erika Fay), a young girl living in the small Texas town of “Furlough”. The goats around town start getting attacked and killed without a drop of blood left in them. The nature of the attacks baffle the local authorities and veterinarian. “Miguel” (Gabriel Gutierrez), Anna’s boyfriend and son of the local vet, proposes the theory that the attacks may be from the legendary “Chupacabra” and tries to capture the beast with the help of an oddball Chupacabra hunter (Eric Canale).

For some inexplicable reason, the film had racial undertones that seemed really out of place. Anna’s parents strongly disapprove of her Mexican/American boyfriend, and the local Caucasian townsfolk see the coming of the Chupacabra as a means to rid the town of the Mexican population. I wasn’t sure whether Scott Maginnis was trying to make a political statement, or establish some comic relief. Either way, it came off awkward and meaningless.

In fact, the entire film didn’t have much of a point to it. The scenes involving the Chupacabra, come and go so quickly, there’s hardly any suspense or build-up at all. And aside from the periodic monster attacks, the movie mainly consisted of pointless scenes of dialogue that did nothing to advance the story.

That being said, I did find the film mildly entertaining. The bad acting and hokey characters gave the film a “Troma” feel. And for such a low-budget film, I thought the creature makeup was pretty well done.

If you can appreciate cheesy, very low budget monster movies, you might find this film mildly entertaining as I did. Otherwise, you’ll want to pass on this one.
