Chupacabra vs. The Alamo is a 2013 made for TV movie about a pack of Chupacabra that use a tunnel to escape from Mexico to San Antonio, Texas. In their travels, however, they engage in many violent attacks. They begin to kill local residents and various drug cartel members.

The film stars Erik Estrada and Julia Benson as the protagonists. It was directed by Terry Ingram with the story [Damien's note: Story? Really? Story?] by Peter Sullivan and Jeffrey Schenck. The movie was released in the U.S. and Canada initially and then later in Brazil and Germany under the titles Chupacabra and Chupacabra - Angriff der Killerbestien.

In the climax, Carlos  [Estrada] enlists the aid of his son's gang and leads the Chupacabras to the Alamo, where a battle takes place. In the end, they kill all the Chupacabras by blowing up the Alamo.

Damien's note: The brief description on the television guide ended with the appropriate word: Horror.

So does a movie in which American drug agents and a gang of Hispanic kids blow up the Alamo to destroy  monsters who are killing drug cartel members  ... I mean, does this send mixed signals, or is it just me?

Peter Sullivan, one of the screenwriters, recently directed the Hallmark original movie Christmas Under Wraps, starring Candace Cameron Bure. Christmas Under Wraps was the highest rated telecast in Hallmark Channel history and the second highest rated cable movie in 2014. Want to talk about Horror!
