So bad it's good...



I found laughable that this movie is meant to be a "serious" horror film. While actors keep it real (some of them are not that bad) the lousy plot and all the mistakes take over the whole show:

1.- English talking (and north-american): Latinos (Juan and Carlos or whatever the *beep* their names were)...

2.- Offscreen deaths and messy corpses: unlike the chupacabra's real method with no blood and gust involved ...

3.- Low-budget soldiers: with elbow/leg-pads, skate helmets and no kevlar-armors and green camo whatsoever...

4.- More about the soldiers: belong to the same squad and wear different weapons; from AK-47 to M16 and Heavy Machine-Guns who curiously enough: make the same sounds when shot and reload with the same ammo...

5.- The captain of the ship: won't reflect it's rank on his wardrobe (despise the shoulder flags), looks the same as his crew...

6.- Money on the bag, either way: has no denominations (you can't tell between a 100 dollar or a 50 one because they have no numbers) and some of the papers are blank on the back...

7.- Tae Bo instructor: it's obvious that this chick will kick the goat sucker's ass with her skills...

8.- Handguns: everyone wears a different one (from Revolver/Glock and something that looks from so Sci-Fi thing), funny thing is that none of them shoots sparks when shot, they just sound.

9.- The goat at the beggining: dind't die, instead the chupacabra went for it's hunters...

10.- Link: Yes, our Zelda's lover soldier throws grenades blindly on the most delicated part of the ship, shoots senselessly to hit nothing (and even worst, bullets won't ricochet) despise his training... but before that humilliation: he went to the lower part of the ship via rapel (like any cool soldier does)...

All of these things just add to the movie... the flavor it needs to suck so bad that it's good. I saw that movie twice (with different groups of friends) and of course I will never see it again.

But, for a cheap laugh, I recommend it.

lol nice. Very nice. This movie was not bad though. But if you put it all together the movie went perfectly and smoothly. The best part was the acting. I have to agree that is one of the main reasons I gave it a 10. But the movie is awesome nevertheless. It reminds of the the Warewolf episode in "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" which is similiar to this one. The movie was a success and I'm still looking for the DVD. It's cheesy but still awesome and entertaining.

Completely agree with the "so bad it's good". I love really cheesy B movies, and this one was certainly a B movie. The movie was so laughable it might as well have been a mystery science theatre film. If you like bad movies and are able to laugh at them, I recommend it. Otherwise, avoid it like the plague.

hey hey hold it hold it! This movie was not bad! It was good if you can understand that it was made for TV. And yet I still think this movie is better than films like Lord of the Rings and Saw. The movie is really fun to watch and sometimes funny but overall a very good film. Cheesy? Ok. Bad? Never.

Yeah this movie is definitely so bad its good.

Come on IceWulf, you know you're setting the DVR for when it comes on again...

Agreed. This film was a whole lot of lively and lovably silly B-grade fun.
