John Rhys-Davies plays cruise ship Captain Randolph. As if dealing with uppity passengers, a safecracking theif, and his ditzy daughter weren't enough, a new passenger, Dr. Pena, smuggles a 6ft chupacabra on board, which promptly escapes it's crate in the cargo bay and goes and a ship wide smorgasbord of carnage and snacking (mostly on crew and guests). With bullet-proof skin it's soon apparent that the crew cannot deal with this menace and the military is called in. With the exception of the blonde idiot daughter (who's screams sound like a yapping dog and who I kept wishing would get eaten) it's a fun B monster movie and Davies with professionalism pulls the movie out of blah blech to yea fun :). A little bloody, with enough comedic moments to make it a fun monster flick, no B-movie collection would be complete without it.Read full review
Certainly not a blockbuster but Chupacabra reminds me of the movies I used to go and see on a Friday night at the local drive inn. Even though it's not to be taken seriously, it's a fun film. Very predictable yet it keeps your interest. The acting isn't bad and sometimes it's even believable. One bowl of popcorn and a good friend are the only recommended accessories. Blake Williams.
I'M INTERESTED IN THE MOVIE SINCE, THE INTRODUCTION OF THIS MYSTERIOUS BEAST ON "UNSOLVED MYSTERIES" BACK IN 1996. THE SHIP'S CAPTAIN, A MARSHALL NAME LANCE, AND JENNY, THE CAPTAIN'S DAUGHTER, ARE UP AGAINST THIS CREATURE THAT WAS BROUGHT ON BOARD A CRUISE SHIP AND ESCAPE TO HAVE IT'S LATE NIGHT FEEDING. THE STORY LINE IS WELL DONE. IT CONTAIN SOME GRAPHIC VIOLENCE THAT WILL KEEP YOU ON YOUR TOES AS TO WHO IS THE NEXT VICTIM OF THE CHUPACABRA. THE MAIN CHAR-ACTERS: JOHN RHYS-DAVIES FROM THE INDIANA JONES AND LORD OF THE RINGS MOVIES AS THE CAPT.RANDOLPH. DYLAN NEAL FROM THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL AND LEGEND OF THE RANGERS AS LANCE, THE BEAUTIFUL AND SEXY CHELAN SIMMONS FROM FINAL DESTIN- ATION 3 AND KYLE XY AS JENNY RANDOLPH. THE COUPLE THINGS THAT I DIDN'T LIKE IS-1.THE DOG GETS KILLED. 2. THE CREATURE HAVE A FEW THINGS MISSING SUCH AS THE CREST ON IT'S HEAD AND IT'S UNDERARMS DON'T LOOK LIKE WINGS. 3. RICK McGRAW LOOKS A BIT QUEERISH IN THIS MOVIE. EVEN THOUGH IT IS FUNNY.Read full review
Cheesy made for TV movie, but perfect to sit down with a bowl of popcorn and pass a few hours while we're all stuck at home with this virus going around. Anyway,I've always liked John Rhys-Davis so I consider this a guilty indulgence.

This movie is about as dumb as they get. There are many goof-up in this movie, such as meerkats (which are native to Africa) showing up on a Caribbean Island and the military wearing bicycle helmets with holes in the top (yeah, that's going to protect them from bullets). Last, this is the first time I've seen a cargo ship fitted to be a cruise liner. In general, this movie was made on a low budget and it shows.
