Netflix is bringing a new take on the chupacabra legend this April with its upcoming film Chupa. The movie follows a 13-year-old boy named Alex who travels to Mexico for the first time to visit his extended family. While there, Alex meets and befriends a young chupacabra. However, it's not quite the terrifying creature from the myths. So, rather than run from Chupa, Alex sets out to protect it from a scientist named Richard Quinn .
Early on, the trailer sets a mysterious tone for the story, creating a tense air that first makes viewers think the creature will live up to its dangerous myth. However, it quickly becomes clear that the movie aims to rethink what the chupacabra could be like if encountered, thanks to Alex's willingness to give Chupa a shot. Despite Alex and his cousins meeting Chupa for the very first time, they approach it with an open mind, offering it a refuge. It also helps that Chupa's pretty cute.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Chupa's screenplay was written by Sean Kennedy Moore, Joe Barnathan, and Marcus Rinehart, with the story by all three alongside Brendan Bollomo. It was directed by Jonás Cuarón. Producers include Chris Columbus, Mark Radcliffe, and Michael Barnathan. Bollomo, G. Mac Brown, and Anna Barnathan Barry served as executive producers.
