If you know what a chupacabra is, chances are you're confused as to how it could possibly be "cute."
The mythical creature is the star of Netflix's upcoming fantasy family movie, with Chupa director Jonás Cuarón making his own adorable interpretation of the vampiric legendary being — the literal translation for the Spanish word "chupacabra" is "goat sucker."
"Our goal was to create an incredibly cute creature based on a terrifying legend,” Cuarón told Netflix's blog Tudum. "The mythical creature was described as a hairless dog with wings and sharp teeth. Chupa is furry and incredibly cute."
"The chupacabras [were] first seen in the early '90s in Puerto Rico. After this, there were sightings of the creature all over Latin America," Cuarón added. “It was believed this creature fed on the blood of goats.”
In Chupa, the now-adorable, seemingly less-bloodsucking winged creature makes pals with a kid from Kansas City, Alex (Evan Whitten), who's visiting family in Mexico where he finds the young chupacabra hiding in his grandfather Chava's (Demián Bichir) shed. Suddenly, Alex and his cousins (Nickolas Verdugo and Ashley Ciarra) have to keep Chupa safe from an evil Christian Slater as conniving scientist Richard Quinn.
The cast also includes Ashley Ciarra, Nickolas Verdugo, Adriana Paz, Gerardo Taracena, and Julio Cesar Cedillo.
Chupa is streaming on Netflix April 7.
I think should look like a Xoloitzcuintle, it could look both cute and scary...maybe it turns into the hairless version if it is fed after midnight....
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's giving me some Gremlins vibes

Maybe change the name of the movie 👀👀
ReplyDeleteThat no chupacabra since when it have wings and was fluffy what they done to rhe chupacabra
ReplyDeleteEverybody knows what a chupacabra is! They should change the title of that movie.
Deleteit got Covid and Mutated
Deletethey literally said they took a vampire like creature n made it cute. In many different beliefs the chupacabra takes on many forms n some do have wings. It literally looks like everyone’s representation of a chupacabra but with wings n it has fur. Chups don’t they are making it more child appropriate. If they based the creature of the version of a chupacabra that everyone knows about. It wouldn’t be a child’s movie. I doubt even some adults would wanna watch it.
DeleteLooks like a cute movie that will destroy my emotional stability.
ReplyDeletethis!
DeleteOk but I know it's gonna make me cry 😢

ReplyDeleteSo much fuss over coyotes with mange.
ReplyDeleteJust great now they are desensiting the population for when the chupacobras attack !
ReplyDeleteThis article was better when the line break ended with “Save Chupa from an evil Christian…” I don’t care that his last name is Slater, THIS is the better plot!
ReplyDeleteSo it’s ET with fur?
ReplyDeleteIt should be at least "Paca", because it's still an animal >XD But noooooo, we gonna do dumb stuff without looking at any other meaning the word could have
