Reviews:
“It features some pretty decent FX for a micro budget picture, some moments of humor, and a twist ending that’s very inventive and one that you would never guess was coming.” Horror Society
“Steve Hudgins has a way of telling a story that at the very start may seem pretty cookie-cutter but don’t let the looks fool you, things seem to always be going on beneath the surface that comes out to shock you as the movie moves along. Also once again I must admit the acting impressed me greatly.” Zombies Don’t Run
“So, unusual lore and cast having a blast but low budget issues all the way through. However, this wasn’t the worst way I have spent 85 minutes.” Taliesin Meets the Vampires
“I can see some horror people out there telling me I am too hard on this movie, and they will find some elements they get into. There are a few scenes that made me laugh. Steve used the less is more Sam Raimi theory with the actual Goatsucker. The horror is more what you don’t see, then what you do see.” Horrorphilia
“Goatsucker is a movie filled with twists and turns that make it a movie that will keep you glued to your seat. Steve Hudgins has put together a movie here that not only lives up to the chupacabra mythos, but manages to surpass it…” Rogue Cinema

” …even with the subpar acting, it’s still fun to watch and probably one of my new guilty pleasures. The production is low and limited on this film and you can tell but it doesn’t slow it down one bit. Steve Hudgins tells great stories…” Geek Tyrant
“It proves to have some unexpected twists and turns throughout the narrative and offers up a nice glimpse at the early days of Big Biting Pig’s early efforts. While the film suffers in the suspense department because it is filmed in broad daylight, it makes up for it in the POV scenes. All in all, if you like low budget horror, Goatsucker is one you should add to your viewing list.” ML Miller Writes
