Five friends meet in Panama for a vacation. While partying like your stereotypical back- packers, they hear from Carmen, a native, stories about a beautiful waterfall deep in the jungle.
Ignoring the warnings of Carmen's friend, they set off to find the waterfall.
When they reach it, the group discovers that the stories about a chupacabra (mythical creature, it's name meaning to rip off far better film) are true, and it has developed a taste for humans....
I've always thought that it was easier to review a bad film rather than a good one, because to rant, is to perform erratic poetry about the terrible aspects of a film.
Now, whilst this film is nothing more than a horrible rip off of Neil Marshall's terrific horror, it's just too boring and too full of itself to get angry about the whole thing.
What made it worse was that the makers start the film with a found footage excerpt, and then the story starts just like any other back-packer in peril film, and by the time they decide to refuse to heed to the warnings, you find yourself easily siding with the creature (or creatures as the editing is leading you to believe).
The cast are awful, they all split up several times to,have a bit of cheeky cheeky, and before you know it, we get the old 'shush.....did you hear that?' And '(insert name)......is that you?', just like every other lazy horror film that has been made since the year dot, and it's becoming increasingly more punishing having to sit through dross like this to get to something worthwhile.
On the plus side, the trees that are on screen are giving us oxygen, and the creature isn't terribly designed, but everything else is terrible. Especially when they try to be clever at the end and make the narrative national news.
Avoid.
