I suspect most children will find many frightening moments in this dark (both dramatically and visually) tale.

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]

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]

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

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]

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.

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.

This movie was awesome!! My family and I loved it. It has a very positive message about friendship and objectivity while using cultural references about Mexican tradition and culture. As a native Spanish speaker I appreciated the lingo and my children whose Spanish is not perfect, enjoyed being able to learn new expressive words and language ver the ending. ??
