For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
The Legend of the Chupacabra belongs to that sub-genre of Horror involving documentary filmmakers capturing horrific events before usually dying a very unpleasant death. These films range from the sublime ("Cannibal Holocaust") to the ridiculous ("The Blair Witch Project"). This film belongs to the latter category but it is far more entertaining than "The Blair Witch Project" because something actually happens in this movie - it does not simply involve an ugly woman speaking into a camera.The Legend of the Chupacabra can really only loosely be described as a horror movie. The film is in no way scary, just a little bit gross in the tried and true Troma fashion. Troma has distributed far better movies, but this one is camp and ridiculous enough to be worthy of carrying the Troma seal of approval. Apart from the mildly amusing spoof of "The Blair Witch Project", the main reasons to watch this film are the intentionally atrocious special effects and the amazing latex Chupacabra suit.The special effects in this film are a joy to behold. I haven't seen anything as crap-tastic as the paper-mache corpses that litter the Chupacabra's lair in a long time. Almost as funny are the fluffy toy animals used as slain goats and the severing of an obviously plastic arm. However, it is the breathtakingly obvious latex suit of the Chupacabra that deserves the most praise. The Chupacabra suit harks back to the creature effects of the 1950s. It must have involved literally minutes of not so meticulous work to design this amazing monster.The Legend of the Chupacabra never tries to be anything other than a high camp, B-Grade horror film. And for that I am truly grateful. This is far from Troma's best but genre fans will enjoy it regardless.
I bought this film on my weekly trip to the video store. I am a big time Troma fan, but I have never heard of this title. I bought it at the reasonable price of seven bucks and went home to watch it. I love Troma movies... all of them from Surf Nazis Must Die to there most famous character the Toxic Avenger. But Legend of the Chupacabra was just plain borring. I was very dissapointed in this movie. I loved that suit the creature was wearing (there's a extra on the dvd showing how he gets into it... the dvd might be worth getting to watch. I thought it was funny). I thought the old mexician lady was funny, that was about it.
This movie had very little good points, the special effects and acting was horrible for sure. But it was a movie made on a low budget so you dont expect much from it, it does have some laughs (I doubt they are intended though :) ). The scene where the old woman bends down and touches dung that was on the floor, then puts it to her nose and goes CHUPACABRA! in a really stupid raspy voice was priceless. All in all if you have nothing else to watch and just want to laugh at a really crappy flick trying to cash in on the Blair Witch Project's success, then grab it other then that dont bother.
If you like bad movie "classics" like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, or Killer Klowns from Outer Space, then this movie is for you! I give it a full 5 groans (and several hearty laughs)! :-)From the rubber monster suit, to the red & corn syrupy "blood", to the oh-my-gawd-awful acting... This movie is guaranteed to bring tears to your eyes (in one way or another)!! ;-)
