The infamous subterranean horror has more interesting stories of people watching this as kids or seeing the box in the video store than the actual movie. Great cast but they simply just run around from place to place. Too few CHUDs. Or is CHUD plural?

Schlocky 80s horror fun that maybe has a little too less actual gore but still delivers a fun night with friends. Also, very early appearance by John Goodman.

Ok, tem umas cenas que eu queria me esconder debaixo da cama de... vergonha. A verdade é que o filme tem uma excelente premissa para um diretor de pouco talento. Só serviu mesmo para eu ver o John Goodman em um dos seus primeiros filmes e me dar saudade do Walter Sobchak - mais uma desculpa para rever o Lebowski. BlurayRip RARBG.

A boring but engaging story, full of notable faces elevating a bloated script, featuring a wonky but endearingly goofy creature, together makes for a classic mixed-bag of an 80's horror/sci-fi B-movie. Admittedly I've now spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to come up with a clever alternative definition for C.H.U.D., but I'm really struggling to come up with anything...Cantankerous Hillbilly Umbrella Distributors...no...maybe...Canned Hippo Urine Drinkers...I should probably just stop.

Tepid horror/thriller has far too much going on and can never settle on what it wants to be - an intriguing premise is left unfulfilled thanks to an unfocused government conspiracy subplot, as well as the shoddy, giggle-inducing makeup for the CHUDs. A few minor jump scares are effective early on, and it's fun to see Heard and Stern team up, even if both gifted actors are given precious little to do. Many 'before-they-were-famous' bit parts add a little contemporaneous fun.

Strictly speaking, this film is pretty bad, but my score is for how well it lives up to its B-movie cult classic status & it does that exceedingly well. Like all great camp, the laughs in this seem to be wholly unintentional w/ the film actually starting off unexpectedly sober w/ actors who can act & a script that not only offers distinct characters, but shows enough forethought to raise the stakes by making someone pregnant. So when the wheels start coming off, the laughs are unpredictable.

C.H.U.D. was kind of a dud. It seemed like it had a high chance of being entertaining, but instead, I felt bored most of the time. I do think the creature design was pretty cool. I loved the creatures glowing eyes and fish mouths. I also love the idea of radioactive monsters in the sewers of New York. It's like a group of killer Ninja Turtles. I just felt like the movie dragged on and on. Plus the twist at the end was actually pretty dumb... [Full Review]

I have seen C.H.U.D. on a few 'best cult movies' lists, and while it is decent Friday night flick to watch with friends, it's hardly a 'best of' material. I liked the characters and acting (Home Alone guy and the mustachioed cop rule), but it's supposed to be HORROR comedy, ffs! There is not enough action. Cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers barely get screen time; even the boss-baddie is a corrupt politician, and not some extra cool cannibalistic humanoid underground dweller...

For a movie about cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers this has some heavy hitting acting. You'd think a script got swapped as a joke on the set of NYPD Blue and it went too far. The CHUD's themselves are a little too few and too far between so with a title like this you're exceptions are for gorier dumber exploitation. I can see why this would be a let down for some but I found it to be a diamond in the rough.

It has a cheesy charm, but the uninteresting story and lack of real cool C.H.U.D. action drag it down. I'd be very ok with a remake, since there is a lot of potential in the concept.

I thought C.H.U.D had a lot of promise, but just fell massively short. The plot was pretty interesting to me, but there was a serious lack of action. Basically I wanted to see more people get murdered by Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers.

Nice and pulpy little gore flick set in a dirty New York. Seems to meander a lot trying in earnest to make some sort of political point (real Reagan era stuff like deregulation and the mentally ill being forced to live on the streets) , and the actors, though usually solid, seem to be poorly directed (nigh uneditable line flubs and all that). But yeah, pulpy and fun, you could do MUCH worse with a film like this.

A version of Ghostbusters in which the heroes battle it out with the guy from the EPA while the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man demolishes downtown. Also, possibly missteps in its apparent attempt to humanize the homeless when it turns them into flesh-eating monsters.

This is a fun '50s-type monster movie. It's marred by ragged editing, but an appealing cast in offbeat roles and good makeups by John Caglione, Jr., make this a pleasant surprise.

A surprisingly good 80's horror flick in the vein of Return of the Living Dead--the soundtrack is even similar. The cast is a lot of very good character actors, and even when the film is being satirical it keeps its tongue in cheek. Some real creepy scenes in this one too.

When there are actually monsters on the screen it's bareable, but there is just not enough of the monsters killing to make up for the unfunny badness of many aspects. The greatest thing in this movie is Daniel Stern at such a young age.

Made for about 20c (in 1984 money), I LOVE these kind of craptacular flicks, so awful they're funny

This movie was the breakout for both the dad and the dumb bad guy from Home Alone, as well as the goofiest looking monsters in the world.
