Chupacabra

In the Latino neighbourhood of Boyle Heights in Los Angeles, animal control officer Navarro has to deal with dog remains that have been found savagely gored. Believing some wild animal responsible, Navarro then meets Starlina Divide, who has written a ridiculed book about the legend of the blood-drinking monster the Chupacabra, which she believes is responsible. They follow a trail of gored bodies and Navarro sees the Chupacabra in action, killing people. At the same time, they must deal with the scientist Dr Goodspeed who is trying to capture the Chupacabra and may have been responsible for originally unleashing it in Boyle Heights. Goodspeed has also employed a thug to eliminate all evidence. Also on the trail are two detectives who believe the activities of the Chupacabra are those of a serial killer and resent Navarro’s interference in their investigation.
