‘Some species are best left undiscovered’
Chupacabra Territory is a 2016 found footage horror film written and directed by Matt McWilliams, making his feature debut.
The film stars Sarah Nicklin (The Haunting of Alice D.; The Sins of Dracula, Flesh for the Inferno), Michael Reed (Dark Feed, Exhumed), Megan Hensley (The Crazies), Julianne Tura (Bloody Bloody Bible Camp; Chastity Bites), and Pierre Kennel.
Four friends hike into the Pinewood Forest to find evidence of the Chupacabra, an ancient creature believed to be responsible for the disappearance of four experienced hikers a year earlier.
As they journey deeper into the forest, their innocent search uncovers more than they had ever hoped for, and with it a darkness that threatens to consume their very existence.
One by one they are hunted down, their survival tested, their lives hanging in the balance of fear, friendship, disbelief and horror…
On April 11, 2017, the film is released on Maltauro Entertainment Blu-ray and Invincible Pictures DVD with exclusive interviews with the cast and crew, trailers and more. The film will also be released on various VOD platforms.
Meanwhile, in the UK, the film was released on DVD as Lair of the Beast on 22nd August 2016 by 101 Films.
Reviews:
” …McWilliams deserves some credit for adding more elements into his movie than you would expect (and arguably than he knows what to do with), and his leads at least give us enough personality that you care a bit about what happens to them.” David Dent, Dark Eyes of London
“Whilst there’s elements here that truly do work and emulate the Blair Witch style terror, the unfortunate, self-centred egos of the characters involved completely undo these moments of brilliance. Because of this, horror fans looking for a serious woodland creature horror will be disappointed…” Horror Cult Films
Filming locations:
Lake Hughes, California, USA
