GOATSUCKER is another in an endless line of found footage horror films made by indie directors. Typically they involve a bunch of hikers heading out into the woods to look for legendary creatures; here, it's the true-life legend of the Chupacabra, although why they didn't head off to Mexico to hunt for it I don't know. There's little monster material here, just human conflict and a bit of unpleasantness. The acting is very bad indeed and there's a general poor quality feel to the proceedings.

GOATSUCKER is a really fun low-budget horror film! There are a ton of low-budget horror films that pretend to be cool and quirky and gory, but most of them feel really fake. This film however really delivers. There are great performances. It's funny, campy, scary and gory. And it's legitimately indie which I personally really love! This thing is seriously entertaining and I was literally howling with laughter. Bravo!

The acting, the "special effects," some of the plot--campy and fun! What makes the film great, though, is the way Steve Hudgins' stock characters gained dimension (if not smarts) as the campy plot unfolded. Also love the way he dropped in characters along the way. Perfect amount of backstory to add to the mystery of THE GOATSUCKER!

What in the world would bring these people together on a hiking tour into the very woods known to be inhabited by a Goat Sucker? A quest for adventure? Some fresh air and exercise? Hoping to see a Goat Sucker? Screw loose? They all have their reasons...Many of the same questions could be asked of this viewer. What made me think it would be a good idea to watch a film about such questionable judgment? The fact that it is a Big Biting Pig Production of course. As usual Steve Hudgins delivers another "Sucker" punch to those who think they know how the story is going to play out.Shot for the very most part in the woods of Kentucky, I was impressed with the expert camera handling and "extra-effort" angles. The sound was flawless in my observation, no easy task in a location picture I imagine. A truly professional film that belies its' indie origins. The cast of characters steps-up to deliver their all-star talent lending complete believability to the project.It offers parallel plots that twist and turn like some sort of racing roller coaster ride and nobody has been given a seat belt. My advice is "Hold on tight and enjoy the ride," I sure did!
