Young
Leo finds himself in the middle of a civil war between the Mexican
Army and the Freedom Fighters. He is captured along with the Freedom
Fighters and they are imprisoned in a broken monastery. But soon,
both the Freedom Fighters and soldiers find themselves hunted by the
legendary Chupacabras and if they don't work together... no one will
escape alive in the new animated release The Legend Of Chupacabras
(2016).
Leo
never believed in urban legends until he met one: The Chupacabras,
said to drain the life and blood of any living thing. Long ago they
were said to be creatures from a magical world, but now they are
hunted down as monsters. Now, along with his magical imaginary
friends, they seek to not only escape the creepy monastery and to
discover why the Chupacabras are after them.
This
was your average cartoon folk lore story, like Big Foot or the
Boogieman. Legends and folklore of long ago were all meant to scary
and to teach children. It is often about conquering fear and evil...
but often it is also not what it seems, but evil from within ...and
that the greatest fear and evil is often the one within ourselves.
The
anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image and lossy Dolby Digital 5.1
sound mix are both a little soft and underwhelming, but passable.
Extras includes trailers.
