Why so much hype?
the audience applauded
hyped garbage
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
An amazing film that made me want to see it over and over. I saw it with a group of friends expecting a made for TV flop, but was pleasantly surprised to be scared out of my wits. i was on the ground almost in tears for a quarter of the film. The characters were believable, minus a few corny quotes: "I'm the best insurance you've got." , "We need more firepower!" "I don't know what you are talking about!?! I am a very wealthy man, this isn't what it looks like." The literal translation to the Spanish word "chokeberry" is "goat sucker" this movie shows the "chokeberry" as a savage beast thirsty for blood, and lots of it.And of course the "chokeberry" mask/ costume was very realistic. the graphics were a little sketchy but the compelling plot made up for what the visual effects lacked. It was a gory film with lots of blood. I do not recommend this movie for squeamish land lubbers. A terrifying flick to watch with friends. Just remember to lock up your goats!
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.
In general, I prefer horror movies that creep me out so much I'm afraid of everything for the next day or so, not the ones where people act stupid and get killed by an indestructible monster. This is one of those movies. The chupacabra of legend is a dog-faced lizard-skin greenish-gray monster that hops like a kangaroo, has fangs and claws, has a row of sharp spines sticking out from its back, and sucks the blood of livestock. As in many horror movies, good and bad, this movie takes liberty with the legend. It not only attacks humans, but it eats their intestines and has a bulletproof, nearly indestructible constitution. So tell me, how can a hypodermic needle penetrate its skin when bullets can't? And why, when the marines figure out that armor-piercing bullets can hurt it, do they split up so the chupacabra can pick them off one by one? John Rhys-Davies gives a performance that rises above the bad movie, and Chelan Simmons and Dylan Neal deserve credit for their performances, too. Otherwise, the rest of the acting was poor to bad, just like the rest of the movie. My rating is based on Rhys-Davies, Simmons and Neal.
Chupacabra Terror, or Chupacabra: Dark Seas as it's also known, starts as a cryptozoologist (someone who searches for mythical creatures) named Dr Pena (Giancarlo Esposito) & his bunch of hired South American mercenaries are on the hunt for a Latin American creature known as a Chupacabra, they set traps which capture the Chupacabra & Dr. Pena manages to bring it under control with a dose of special tranquiliser. The cruise ship the 'Venician Queen' is about to set sail as Captain Randolp (John Rhys-Davis) introduces himself to U.S. Marshall Lance (Dylan Neal) who has been brought aboard to try & unmask a thief. Dr. Pena also boards at this point with a suspicious looking wooden crate, the crate goes into storage & the Venician Queen sets sail. Two of the ships crew become curious as to what is in the crate & decide to open it, which in retrospect turned out to be a bad idea as the vicious Chupacabra jumps out brutally kills them both. It's not long before the mutilated bodies are found & Captain Randolph alerted, he tries to recapture the creature but as the body count grows Randolph has no choice but to call in the Navy Seals headed up by Commander Link (Matthew R. Anderson) but will it be enough to prevent the Chupacabra from slaughtering the entire ship...?Co-written & directed by John Shepphird I actually thought Chupacabra Terror was a fairly entertaining 'creature feature' type film. The script by Shepphird & Steve Jankowski (who has a small role in the film as Admiral Williams) moves along at a fair pace & at least it knows what it is & doesn't really try to be anything else other than a slimy monster-on-the-loose sci-fi/horror film. The character's aren't great, neither is the dialogue but it helps when there aren't huge chunks of time wasting exposition & unnecessary character development to pad the running time out, thankfully Chupacabra Terror sticks to the monster killing people which in itself wasn't a bad decision on behalf of the filmmakers since they obviously knew they weren't making high drama or an Oscar worthy epic. Chupacabra Terror reminded me of Deep Rising (1998) which itself was basically Titanic (1997) crossed with Aliens (1986) & while Chupacabra Terror definitely doesn't have the scope, scale or excitement of those films it's not a bad watch & is better than a lot of these Sci-Fi Channel films that I've sat through, I will take this opportunity to remind you of the cinematic masterpiece that is Python (2000), now look me in the eye & say Chupacabra Terror is a bad film.Director Shepphird does an OK job, it doesn't have much visual flair or style but it looks alright considering it's straight-to-video origins. I really liked the monster in this, sure it's just a guy in a rubber monster suit but I liked it & though it looked pretty good most of the time. Also I'm pretty sure throwing grenades around a ships engine room would cause more damage than is suggested. There is a fair amount of blood & gore here, while not particularly graphic there is plenty of bloodshed, there are various ripped throats, mutilated bodies, dog munching & a bit where someone is chopped in half & their intestines are splattered are all over the place.With a budget of about $1,200,000, filmed in the Turks & Caicos Islands Chupacabra Terror technically is a decent film, some of the special effects aren't the best but none are that bad, it can't really escape it's low budget made-for-video origins but it's certainly watchable. The acting is average, hey I'm trying to be kind here.While it's not going to win any awards for artistic merit or originality I thought Chupacabra Terror was a good, fun & entertaining monster film but going by some of the other comments here on the IMDb I think I'm in the minority with that opinion. Personally I think it's worth a watch & who cares what other people think anyway...
