Despite it's title, it is not a sequel, or related to ''Film/AnAmericanWerewolfInLondon'' or ''Film/AnAmericanWerewolfInParis''. Not only that, but the monster in this film isn't a werewolf. In fact, werewolves are brought up in the movie, but only loosely.

In the dusty little town of Furlough in Texas, nothing happens, and some of the locals have thinly veiled animosity towards it's Hispanic residents. When an animal is slaughtering the cattle and the locals. When a teenager is killed, Anna Furlough, her Mexican-American boyfriend Miguel Gonzalez, Jill Gillespie and Rosie finds that a Chupacabra is the killer and they plot a plan to kill the beast.

Despite it's title, it is not a sequel, or related to ''Film/AnAmericanWerewolfInLondon'' or ''Film/AnAmericanWerewolfInParis''. Not only that, but the monster in this film isn't a werewolf. In fact, werewolves are brought up in the movie, but only loosly.
