Woodyanders The sleepy small town of Furlough, Texas is terrorized by a savage creature of local Mexican legend known as the chupacabra (Collin Pulsipher in a gnarly suit). A group of teenagers decide to track the beast down and kill it after it kills one of their friends. Writer/director Scott Maginnis relates the entertaining story at a snappy pace, builds a good deal of tension, offers a flavorsome evocation of the dusty desert town, creates and sustains a pleasingly creepy atmosphere, delivers a handy helping of graphic gore, and stages the ferocious attack set pieces with rip-roaring flair. The competent acting from the capable no-name cast rates as another definite asset: Erika Fay contributes a winningly vibrant turn as the spunky Anna, cute blonde Sara Erikson nearly steals the show with her hilarious portrayal of the ditsy Jill (the scene with Jill flashing the monster is simply sidesplitting!), plus there are solid turns by Gabriel Gutierrez as Anna's nice boyfriend Miguel, Michael Carreo as antagonistic jerk Tommy, Martine Hughes as the sweet Rosie, Mark Halvorson as Anna's freaky mortician father Brad, Leslie Marshall as Anna's bitchy busybody mother Carol, and Louie Cruz Beltran as sensible veterinarian Manny Gonzalez. Matthew J. Siegal's sharp cinematography gives the picture an impressive slick look. Matthew McGhaughey's ominous ratting score hits the shuddery spot. A fun fright flick.

JoeytheBrit As this film is so bad, let's just narrow things down to two examples:Firstly, we see one poor guy, after being dragged to a deserted field by his vacuous but pretty girlfriend for a spot of rumpy, eviscerated by the beast. Five minutes later, we see the girl, seemingly unaffected by her ordeal, relaying the events of the attack to the town's sheriff and his 'comedy' sidekick in a diner, and are treated to the entire attack all over again in flashback. The entire attack. Five minutes later. Brilliant idea – really keeps the film flying along..Secondly, the father of one of the teen heroes decides to gather the pelts of various deer, etc, and fashion himself his own chupacabra suit so that he can kill the Mexican kid who is boffing his daughter and blame it on the monster. Not possessing the requisite pair of fangs, he decides a barbecue fork will do the job just as well and trips off into the desert night in his furry outfit, looking like the cuddly little brother of that cuddly werewolf in Carry On Screaming. If it hadn't have looked so pathetic it would have been funny.The best thing about this film is the title – and even that's a rip-off of John Landis's American Werewolf in London. Trust me, it's only worth watching if you're a connoisseur of trash and, given that even trash must have its hierarchy, this is some of the worst around.

Claudio Carvalho In the dusty little town of Furlough in Texas, an animal is slaughtering the cattle and the locals. When the teenager Tommy (Michael Carreo) is killed, their friends Anna Furlough (Erika Fay), her Mexican-American boyfriend Miguel Gonzalez (Gabriel Gutierrez), Jill Gillespie (Sara Erikson) and Rosie (Martine Hughes) finds that a Mexican werewolf Chupacabra is the killer and they plot a plan to kill the beast."Mexican Werewolf in Texas" is an amateurish crap and among the worse movies I have ever seen, if not the worst. Nothing works in this movie: the screenplay is laughable, with some of the most terrible lines I have ever heard. The direction does not exist and the camera follows the "style" of "The Blair Witch Project". The amateurish acting seems to be a prank of high-school students or a high school play. The "special effects" are gruesome and extremely poor and the "werewolf" is the cheapest I have ever seen. Ed Wood movies are cult, but this "Mexican Werewolf in Texas" is pure garbage. In the end, Jill says that no man can resist her teats (actually the most beautiful thing in this flick). But I believe the correct quote should be "no man (or woman) can resist to watch this movie to the end". I was driven by my curiosity to see how bad a movie can be and I lost 88 minutes of my life, but I believe most of the viewers will stop seeing with less than 20 minutes running time. My vote is one (awful).Title (Brazil): "Um Lobisomen Mexicano no Texas" ("A Mexican Werewolf in Texas")

Xex-Arachnid which to me was kind of a disappointment when I was in my local (crappy) videostore. I had honestly thought it was a unique werewolf design but what got me to purchase it was the title of the movie like American werewolf? So then after seeing the movie, I caught the humor of the title. This movie sux! But I gave it a 5 because it wasn't a bad suck. There was a certain attitude about the movie that was likable even the racist persona's of the white Texans against the Mexican Texans although vulgar, was what I would call accurate of a typical racist.I don't know, if they had a modern day version of USA Up all night, I can see this being on the play list.
