Carlos Seguin (Erik Estrada) and his new partner Tracy (Julia Benson) are investigating a murder. Erik believes it is some kind of gang killing while Tracy opts for CG canines. If you read the title of the film, you already know it is the CG canines known as Chupacabra, which look like a big ugly coyote. Carlos has family issues which become part of the film as they try to iron out their problems.The special effects make for a campy film. The CG animals, CG gun fire, and the scenery moving in the background as Erik rides his bike, like a 1940's film. His jumping over a car and the use of a CG grenade was perhaps the highlights of the campy humor. The dialouge was fairly lame with noticeable music and scene changes for commercial breaks.There is plenty of fake blood and killing as these animals who have lived in the wild have mastered door knob operations with their first attempt. Unless you are a fan of bad SyFy films, stay away.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

Creatures of local legend, Chupacabras, are not adverse to traveling in packs. Just one can prove a problem; but several mean dangerous trouble. In this made-for-TV movie, a pack of Chupacabras tunnels its way from Mexico to San Antonio, Texas. When a pile of corpses are found, DEA Agent Seguin (Erik Estrada) and a newly assigned partner, Tracy Taylor (Julia Benson), begin investigating. It is believed among locals, a score of drug cartel members are part of the mess. A dying man is found deeper in the tunnel and he claims his attackers were Chupacabras. The famous landmark, the Alamo, will become the site of a major battle of desperation and blood curdling fear.This SyFy film is directed by Terry Ingram and also stars: Chad Krowchuk, Brent McLaren, Nicole Munoz, Aleks Paunovic, Cassandra Fernandez and Jorge Vargas.

Some grisly murder victims are found in San Antonio, Texas. Turns out they are being killed by chupacabra. If you haven't seen this Syfy TV movie yet, you may be wondering what chupacabra is/are and how the inanimate Alamo is able to fight anything. For one thing, chupacabra are vicious dog-like creatures. Animated and hungry, they are called an "urban legend" by veteran motorcycle cop and present DEA agent Erik Estrada (as Carlos Seguin), but he changes his mind. The former "CHiPS" TV series star has added several pounds and years, but kept his gritty teeth and grimace. Presently, he is the widower father of two ungrateful children – gangbanger son Jorge Vargas (as Tommy aka "Spider") and bratty daughter Nicole Munoz (as Sienna). In what may or may not be political subtext, the blood-thirsty hounds are from Mexico. Finally, the Alamo does not do battle with the chupacabra as promised in the title; instead, Estrada's team and the chupacabra have a showdown at the landmark.** Chupacabra vs. the Alamo (3/23/13) Erik Estrada, Julia Benson, Jorge Vargas, Vanesa Tomasino

I wanted to enjoy this movie as a piece of Syfy camp. But it was just too poorly written to work even on that level.Really Hollywood, if you're going to place a story in a certain part of the U.S. at least look at googlemaps first. The first scene has a text graphic stating (U.S./Mexican border, southeast of San Antonio). A quick look at a map and you would see that the Gulf of Mexico is southeast of the city. The film just goes downhill from there. Way too many green screen shots of Erik on a motorcycle. Come on guys! Take 1/2 a day and shoot it for real! The dude knows how to ride one. They could have done so much tying in the characters relation to Juan Seguin, a hero of the Texas revolution. Instead, he is mentioned once at the beginning and you see a photo of him in the Alamo. The rest of the Texas/Mexican heritage is wasted on making all the young people act like they are from East L.A. The skinny malnourished cgi dogs somehow manage to kill everyone in the San Antonio police department except the lead and his partner. Along with some East L.A. gang bangers they make their stand in the Alamo. Evidently, the chupradogs have been able to kill everyone else in a city of 1.3 million as they are the only people (except for a tour group that gets eaten in 30 seconds)left in downtown San Antonio. I give up on Syfy now. Just do your wrestling, poor reality shows and leave movies to people that might at least care. That's what got me the most about this movie. It was so sloppy you could tell no one working on it (writing, directing, and special effects) cared at all. Just put something on the screen.
