1/5
I suspect most children will find many frightening moments in this dark (both dramatically and visually) tale. Go to Full Review Jordi Costa El Pais (Spain) 07/23/2018
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] Go to Full Review Tamara Moya Fotogramas 07/20/2018
3/5
For those restless children. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Ali López Correcámara 10/25/2016
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.

2/5
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] Go to Full Review Luis Fernando Galván En Filme 10/21/2016
2.5/5
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] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

KLEBER G @RT86801979 Sep 27 The EBT of Mexico-10000/10 See more 10/26/2021 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. See more 06/24/2019 This movie was great See more 02/11/2017 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. See more 11/01/2016 the worst movie that I ever wachedð??? See more 10/23/2016 Pretty good movie, either I was to busy reading t subtitles or idk....the movie didn't connect to a storyline? See more Read all reviews
