It had potential, but...

This was a waste of time. Unless you dig the myth of El Chupacabra, don't attempt this film. It's loaded with bad acting (by a cast who is all related to each other somehow) and worse directing. Basically, when there isn't any action going on in a scene, the director throws up scenes shot on the water or of the sky or whatever else doesn't have to seep into their (probably) nonexistent budget. Also I saw microphones for the actors in at least 2 shots.

The good stuff is that the movie is arranged well, with all of the scenes having a good flow to them. The indie feel is definitely present in the music, being that they're happy with a synthesized accordion used in many scenes. And, for this sort of film, there was no nudity to back them up in scenes when nothing was going on...which I actually LIKED because that showed that they could keep some story (about a mythical creature controlled by some gypsy/white witch) going.

::PLOT REVEALED:: All in all, don't rent this garbage. You'll get angry that the awesome-looking creature on the coverbox isn't in the film at all (in fact, the creatures are nothing more than vampire-zombies controlled by the gypsy woman to create the myth of El Chupacabra). Only for fans and curious people looking to further create El Chupacabra in their minds.
