Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle I suspect most children will find many frightening moments in this dark (both dramatically and visually) tale. Rated: 1/5 Oct 20, 2016 Full Review Jordi Costa El Pais (Spain) It is the fourth of the series, and its arrival in theaters seems doomed to sow some confusion among its viewers. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 23, 2018 Full Review Tamara Moya Fotogramas For those restless children. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Jul 20, 2018 Full Review Ali López Correcámara A film where the characters tell classicist and discriminating jokes promoting intolerance, and with only seeing the poster you know what kind of illustration we are going to face so it's better to ignore the animation. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 25, 2016 Full Review Jesús Chavarria Cine Premiere A film that is only slightly above the average of this type of Mexican films, something that is not complicated but is enough to entertain young audiences. However, is still far from meeting the expectations. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/5 Oct 24, 2016 Full Review Luis Fernando Galván En Filme A film with well-intentioned messages aimed at friendship, loyalty and teamwork, but often falls into naive jokes instead of exploring in detail the proposed topics. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 21, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Garf i the plot is weird, it doesnt get to be mediocre but it is weak, the sideplot was pretty bad, its boring and kinda annoying, it just helps to explain the backstory of the main antagonist but it doesnt do it interesting, its just a random girl who starts talking about how somebody did something bad and she is searching something, all this only to explain who is the real villain, but the main plot is actually pretty nice, the whole location its just an abandoned convent located on a mountain, and its great as it is, the beast was interesting and the characters were good enough Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Pobres niños. ¿Qué hicieron para merecer una película tan mala como esta, con el personaje de una niña pelirroja flotante que es insoportable, y un alebrije hippie? Sólo se las pondría para castigarlos. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was great Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/19 Full Review Audience Member Estoy acompañando a alguien a verla en este momento y me parece muy tonta, en primer lugar está "basada en una leyenda..." que no existe pues el chupacabras es un personaje moderno, tiene demasiados anacronismos que además son innecesarios, contiene un humor muy mediocre. Como Mexicano me avergüenza que en otros países conozcan esta... basura. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member the worst movie that I ever wachedð??? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good movie, either I was to busy reading t subtitles or idk....the movie didn't connect to a storyline? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
