    This is one of those horror films that is so horrendously bad, that it is quite good. The creature makeup and sfx weren't actually too bad, but the script and the acting was terrible! There were so many unintentional laughs in this one, that it really should have been a comedy!...( read more) Bad as it is, I cannot trash it as it entertained and greatly amused me.

    I've seen some crap in my time as I'm sure my friends and reviews will testify to. Then I decided to submit myself to the 'El Chupacabra Experience', which is certainly something not for the weak. The acting is terrible and the camera work poor, once you get past that there are...( read more) plenty of other things to make you look to the heavens and shout "Why?!". With the way that the days disappeared so quickly I was beginning to think I was watching Dark City. There was one scene in which it is the morning after the cousin of our 'hero' has been killed, he gets in a car to drive off and as the conversation continues it's suddenly night, but don't worry as he soon cheers up and is laughing and joking. Normally I might have been wondering why the heroine decides to wear a short skirt and heels to go chasing after the critter, but by the time I got to that point I wasn't really caring. It also would have been nice if the film-makers had thought about how their characters were getting from A to B as sometimes they just seemed to teleport in. The funniest part of the film was watching a gang member trying to outrun the Chupacabra on his crutches. This film have affected me psychologically as I even started to 'enjoy' the film as it went on, but I refuse to give this one and a half stars.... must resist.

    Okay, the weak acting was hysterically funny, and the blatant stereotyping of the Latino community was good for a giggle as well. But the best moment in this film is when the two detectives are examining the gang leader's body at the crime scene. He is supposed to be dead, but there are numerous times when his eyes blink, and he is clearly breathing through the whole scene! This movie has one of the funniest lines of dialogue I've ever heard as well - "Don't fuck with a fucker, Gutierrez - You'll only get fucked." What genius came up with this stuff?
    And the big promo for this film is the appearance of the "Award-winning rap artist, Treach." Who the hell is he?
