In the small, Texas town of Furlough, "where nothing ever happens", a strange creature is killing goats on a massive scale and the local citizens are baffled by what it could be. For starters, it isn't eating any of the meat but rather draining them of their blood. Further, the number of goats killed isn't normal for any particular species endemic to the area. And the people begin to get even more concerned when it starts attacking humans. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this particular film was definitely a low-budget operation and this was clearly highlighted by some of the special effects. Yet, in spite of the fact that it was actually filmed in California, I was extremely impressed by the amazingly accurate manner in which the characters of southern Texas were portrayed. Although perhaps not as openly apparent, the racism is really that strong and the younger generation definitely yearns to leave these towns at the first opportunity. Be that as it may, I thought the acting was adequate enough and I liked the manner which the horror was mixed with comedy here and there. In short, although this film clearly suffered from a lack of funding, the director (Scott Maginnis) improvised quite nicely and I have rated this film accordingly. Average.

A small Texas town is stalked by a predator which may be the legendary chubacabra. Meanwhile a frustrated teenage girl struggles to rise above her surroundings and forge a life for herself, while her father plots to murder his shrewish wife using the strange animalistic killings as a cover.If you're wondering what any of that has to do with a werewolf, you're not alone. Despite the deceptive title, this is not a werewolf movie, though that little bit of disingenuous marketing is the least of this film's problems. Anyone who watches horror/sci-fi/fantasy movies in any quantity finds some real losers now and then, but this is one of the worst, and probably the worst so-called "werewolf" film I've ever had the misfortune of sitting through. The effects are woeful, and although the various killings are gruesome they aren't very effective in terms of generating suspense. The monster--chubacapra, werewolf, whatever--is pretty pitiful, but not as pitiful as the script, acting, and directing. The characters are all incredibly unlikeable, especially our heroine, a slutty, self-righteous brat who thinks she's too good for her parents and basically everyone else but who is at least as bad as any of them. The only interesting aspect of the whole movie is the subplot involving the guy who wants to use the chubacabra killings to cover up murdering his wife, but this humorous plot point is only a fraction of the overall script and doesn't really go anywhere. To top it all off, the ending is a typical cheat. Who knows, maybe there was a sequel planned but fortunately we've been spared that...so far. I have no problem with low-budget b-movies and I realize such films face many obstacles, all of which may not be successfully overcome, but sometimes you see a movie so bad you have to wonder if the people involved even attempted to make anything decent. Trust me, no matter how much you like b-movies in general or werewolves in particular, this is one werewolf film you don't need to watch.

First of all "Mexican werewolf in Texas" is not a werewolf movie. This title is bullcrap. The story is actually about a Chupacabra that kills all the local villagers in the little town of Furlough in Texas. I suppose the distributors renamed the original title so that it would make some extra bucks or something. And I guess it actually works because that's the reason why I bought this piece of crap, it sounded so stupid. Anyway the movie isn't any good. Actually it's bloody awful. But I didn't expect anything else when I bought it. It's a low budget horror movie with a Chupacabra monster. If you enjoy low budget horror with bad dialog, actors and some gore then you should check into this movie. But I must warn you, this movie is really baaaaaaad.This movie has some of the worst acting I have ever seen. The actors try to hard and t it gets completely ridiculous. They almost never say a line in a normal way. They always have this completely wrong tone about just everything they say. It's so stupid it almost looks like a freakin parody. It's like they shot each scene only one single time and were happy about it. The worst of them all is the blond girl which is supposed to play a bimbo. She's the worst of them all. I have never seen an actor as bad as her (And I've seen Pteradactyl). Even when her boyfriend dies she can't stop being a bimbo about it. I hate her.Some of the shots in this movie were actually quite good. The ones that where shot in the daytime are all pretty decent for a low budget project. But most of the movie is shot in the night when the Chupacabra strikes and the lighting is way too dark. The gore scenes are few and short, but really grizzly and violent. The effects are pretty hilarious really, but that's the way I like it. The Chupacabra looks pretty messed up, and it's easy to see that it's a guy in suit.Overall this movie should only be watched by extreme fans of low budget flicks and it's very important to not watch this alone because you will probably be bored to death. I recommend watching this flick with your friends and some beer.

What could ever happen in a dull Texan town in summer? Well, a bunch of teenagers find out a few things can and do happen.It turns out the Mexican werewolf of this story is nothing less than el chupacabra, and the movie, unlike the name would suggest, is not a remake or lookalike of the American Werewolf movies, but something completely different.Overall, for an obviously low-budget movie, it's not bad! Some clever camera work, quite decent looking traditional creature and gore effects, and for once not all-knowing people that can and do make mistakes, like shooting a colleague thinking it's the big bad beast, and are baffled by things they could not possibly know.Sit down at this expecting a blockbuster million-dollar production, and you will turn it off in disgust after a short while. Sit down at this expecting a bit of entertainment and a relatively simple story, and it's quite good! Overall it gets an 8/10 from me for being creative, having OK acting, and pulling off some good work for the budget this movie had.
