Mr. Walters (Tom Dolan) makes his money organizing tours through "GoatSucker" (English for Chupacabra) country - basically a strip of land deep in the woods where animals have died under mysterious circumstances and the Chupacabra might have been sighted. Sure, he thinks it's all baloney, and encourages his guides to invent stories to make the hikes creepier, but it's good money nevertheless. Even when one of his guides (Megan Jones) goes missing in Chupacabra country, he sees no reason to panic and just asks another guide of his, Heidi (Kim Welsh) to take over ... and today's little group is a problem one, too: There's regular young guy Alan (Brandon Schaefer), his ex Rhonda (Emily Fitzmaurice) who just can't let him go, stocky and shy Eugene (Neil Vowels), who falls for Rhonda at first sight and now would do anything just to be close to her, Pam (Marsha Cash), who's past her best years but still has her sights set on young Alan, and Wayne, who has brought a handgun to the occasion which he's a bit too willing to pull at every other occasion. So that's already a pretty tense situation ... but then Heidi disappears, probably taken by the Chupacabra, and our heroes are left to their own devices in the middle of the woods - and their own devices don't get them far ...

 

So ok, GoatSucker, a slasher/monster hybrid, hasn't exactly set out to break new cinematic ground - but it spins a well-known yarn very well, populating it with quirky characters whose individual storylines are at least as much fun as the shock, suspense and kill scenes, thus going the exact opposite route of the genre's usual cannonfodder mentality. Plus, the film's finale that really takes a u-turn with everything that has gone on before is worth the watch alone. But add to that a solid directorial effort and an ensemble cast well up to their roles, and you're in for some very cool genre entertainment.
