A group of friends take a trip to the country in search of the illusive Chupacabra. It begins with the road trip and the characters they meet along the way and then to the woods where it remains until the end.
Chupacabra Territory is the type of found footage that gives the genre a bad name. It's badly written with multiple cringe worthy scenes. The acting is the equivalent of a high school play with a script that could have been written by a fifteen year old boy. The acting is horrible but they really didn't have much to work with. Although the cast seem to be in their late 20's, they speak to each other like teenagers obsessed with boobs and booze. There are masturbation and sex scenes which do absolutely nothing for the story. The conversations and interactions between the friends are awkward, nonsensical, and unrealistic. I'm certain the locals they come in contact with are meant to be comical but got a face palm instead of chuckles out of me.
I'll never understand how a film can fail on so many levels with a decent story line, good cameras, and a presumed group of creative people. You'd think that someone would attempt to save the project before going through with such a disaster that will be there for the public to see forever.
I love Found Footage and this is an abomination of the genre. Avoid at all costs and check out the ever growing list of creative films which use this platform redefine what a movie can be.
And why in the world they didn't use any Groovie Ghoulies or Chixdiggit songs about Chupacabras is beyond me. I'd given an extra point for the research and good taste but this movie lacks both.
