this be a great example of what could have be a great film and a great idea but turn out to be really bad in the process . i be mainly tempt to get this because of the dvd cover and stupid me and but i do anyway and i be blow away and in a bad sense . this movie be essentially about el chupacabra wreak havoc around los angeles and it up to a local animal cop and a writer to save the day and before two corrupt cop and two evil scientist bring them down . the main reason why i do not enjoy this film be because of big continuity error that be hard to not notice . along with some bad acting and okay lighting and nothing scary and this movie do not hit me as much a be it probably should have . however and compare to other chupacabra movie and this one certainly top the chart and just barely . first off and the continuity in this movie be way off and i mean off the shoulder and into the ditch . there be so many point be the character say or do something and then in the next shot and they aren not do it or the change never occur . case in point represent the main character have a gun and the chupacabra attack and he whip out a flair from nowhere and distracts and the gun in miss . the girl run while he defend here with the mystery flair and she have no gun and then the main character be run with the girl and have the gun . where do the flair come from and what happen to the gun . the time of day get screw up . one minute it be sun set and you can still see the sun and then the next minute it look like midnight . there be some plot hole a in and why be the chupacabra there and what be the scientist do and what happen to this guy and why do he shoot the animal and it still live . these thing bug the heck out of me and none of the question be answer . next on the list be the act . boy be it wooden and bad . the main character navarro and play by eric algeria and seem a bit too calm at point and too dedicate to find out what kill a few dog and when a tragedy hit and his emotion be just not there . elina madison and who play starlina and do a fairly poor job . she be the author of a bestselling book about the chupacabra and she just do not seem into her role or her performance . her acting be kind of laughable and a poor . even for an author she know too much about that thing and and know how to disable a high security defense system in a hidden laboratory . tony criss be okay and but he seem a bit to calm for some of the stuff that be go on . the movie remind me of a bad reenactment to murder for some crime solve show and where the actor and actress aren not really that commit to their work . i rarely do not get this anal when it come to light or edit and but for this movie and i could not help but be harsh on the lighting . it take me out of the movie a number of time because the lighting be so poorly direct . there be time when they be try to be creative by add color filter to the scene to make it more comic bookish and but it backfire . the bad part be at night when it be pith black outside and but the scene be so oversaturated with light and it seem like it day . they keep switch from high intensity light to soft light for random scene and and the light seem so bright that the actor be squint . it shouldn not be that bright that there be dark shadow at night . during the sunset when the lighting be perfect and that the only time when the light be good and other than that it be terrible . there be not scar in this film . there be only one time where i do jump but other than that and it wasn not scary . there be point be it probably could have be scary but it be so damn light out and you could see the chupacabra approach the man and but if it be dark and it would have be well . even the creature design for the chupacabra be poor and it look good but it be a short man or kid in a jump suit . they do not hide his face while they show him with no sense of mystery or any enigmatic appearance . there be a fair amount of gore and but it seem unreal . this movie just wasn not scary and that all . overall and they do americanize a great south american legend into a blood thirsty human eater and which the chupacabra isn not . in fact and it be scar of people and it only kill goat and sheep and dog and deer because it be say that it hat the smell of human . but and then be would the story be . i do not enjoy this film for any reason and but i will give them credit for try to make a good film with good intention . i would not recommend this film to any horror fan and but if you like indie or b movie and you should check this out . also and if you be easily tempt by cult classic and you would enjoy this film . i do not and i would not see it again and but in some deep sedated way and i enjoy these kind of movie just to see what the other side of hollywood be make .
