Chupa (2000) fares better than your typical shot on VHS low budget. The cast are all pretty decent and it makes a reasonable effort with its make-up effects.
One criticism I have of the film is it veers too close to a certain 80's Sci-Fi Horror classic in the third act. One might call it a rip-off if it weren't for the characters mentioning the film's title in an obvious nod.
One thing I enjoyed greatly, though, was the wardrobe choices and technology presented that really give it an early '00s charm. We have several interesting archetypes investigating the Chupacabra and the way they butt heads really adds to the film's character.
Probably not the best Chupacabra film per se but it is still a surprisingly competent sci-fi suspense.
