A way slower burn than you'd think a movie called C.H.U.D. would have but it sort of works. Everybody learns as a child how horror is often a reflection of the anxiety of the times. Like how in the 50s people were afraid of communism or in the 30s people were afraid of…

The real problem is that we didn't have enough empathy for the CHUDs.

Ok... real talk... the trailer for chud scared me as a kid more than most trailers.... when the famed trailer voice guy says "They're not staying down there.. anymore" i still get faint 9 year old heebie jeebies. I love this movie.

I can’t EVEN believe I’ve never seen this before. I mean, I’ve known about it since I was a kid but I just never got around to it and that’s too bad because it’s really pretty fun! The plot is about some underground creatures that are terrorizing New York...and this is…

Takes a bit too long to get to it and even when it does it definitely could have used some more actual nasty creature-feature action mayhem, especially since what we do see of the slimy, gory FX work is actually pretty good! But as far as diet Larry Cohen/Frank Hennenlotter…

Atticus is "meh" on

C.H.U.D.

It wasn’t particularly an horror movie more so a critic of powerful people. Sadly they both show too much and not enough. Some of the main characters are basically useless, only bosch and AJ really have any importance. And god does the chuds look like power rangers villains.

Dominic is "meh" on

C.H.U.D.

4/10 A very weird film. Not really scary at all and I don’t feel like a lot actually happens until the end. The cast is fine and the plot can be pretty bad at points. I do feel like the concept of the government wanting to use the chuds is interesting though.

If you like seeing hands come out the sewer and old white men talking in a conference room for 90% of the movie then this is for you

Decent practical and likable characters. I thought the police procedural and whole investigation aspect was quite good.

Generally favorable reviews based on 5 Reviews

Perfect for bleary-eyed late-night viewing and pretty much unwatchable at any other hour, it does make for an oddly appropriate refresher course for life under a Republican president.

C.H.U.D. makes no pretension toward serious theses about government or the environment. It is meant to be light commercial entertainment, and in the category of horror films it stands as a praiseworthy effort.
