This is one of those low budget oddities that surfaced on home video in the eighties and developed a cult following among horror fans as well as people curious to see early performances from Daniel Stern and John Goodman. Mutant tramps living under new-york city are beggining to venture to the surface to find fresh meat, speading panic amongst the city's homeless population, a cop, a soup-kitchen worker and a professional photographer begin to investigate the mystery. Anchor bay's disc is great, with the best transfer I have seen yet and the film itself has been re-edited and presented as the director intended. The commentary track is both fun and informative and the disc also includes a superb easter egg. At the prices i've seen this go for on amazon this is an essential purchase for horror fans.

CHUD is a solid, fun movie, with a lot of things to recommend it. In terms of how the movie feels, although it's generally known as a horror movie there's very little scary about it so it falls into the 'sci-fi thriller' category along with Independence Day, Jurassic Park, Predator and the like. While those films are suitable for kids, aside from Predator anyhoo, CHUD is definitely not (of course the R rating and the fact that CHUD stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers probably tipped you off) and the admittedly few and far between instances of violence or gore are quite grim, so keep this one out of reach of the littlies, but otherwise this is a fun B Movie thriller that everyone will enjoy. The acting is solid throughout, and it's surprising given the time the movie was made (during the 80s slasher boom when most of the characters in movies got bumped off before they had a chance to speak let alone develop) but the writers have taken genuine pains to create characters who you actually care about and believe in. This movie reminded me of the kind of daft Sci-Fi I used to watch back in the 80s when I was a kid, so it instantly got accepted into my heart just for that, and it really is the kind of movie anybody should be able to watch, horror fan or not. The only things that stopped CHUD from getting 5 stars were that it seemed to end abruptly, and at times the movie didn't seem to know whether it was trying to be funny or frightening. Also the sound transfer on the DVD is a little haphazard, resulting in some of the script getting lost in the hubbub. Mind you, this is an old movie and one that's only just been reissued so the print had probably deteriorated a fair bit.
If you like CHUD and feel you'd want to check out similar stuff, try these: Return of the Living Dead(1 and 2, not 3), Repo Man, Humanoids from the Deep.

C.H.U.D. has been called a cult classic, and for good reason. "C.H.U.D." standing for "Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers" is an 80's horror film like no other. The film is such a great representation of 80's horror that anyone who considers themselves a horror buff should have it in their collection. The monsters are very well done for their time, and the great story-line tells itself quickly without getting boring. Some of our best horror films came out in this decade and I think more people should check them out. After a SoHo soup kitchen cook named A. J. (Daniel Stern) reports to Captain Bosch (Christopher Curry) that some of his patrons, those which reside in the city's sewage system, mysteriously disappeared two weeks prior, the duo attempt to account for the missing persons. However, upon the discovery of a political cover-up resulting in grotesque, subhuman mutations of the city's indigenous population, Bosch is told by the police chief, O'Brien (Eddie Jones) and the Commissioner (John Ramsey), to keep a tight lip. At the same time, photographer George Cooper (John Heard), has been convinced by free-lance reporter, Murphy (J.C. Quinn), that there is something strange going on in the sewers and he convinces George to go with him to investigate. Yet, as murders reportedly committed by monsters emerging from the city's sewers begin to pile in from throughout the city, Bosch and A. J. attempt to unveil the conspiracy before the situation gets out of hand. The film follows different characters investigating the disappearances of many of the underground population. Police captain "Bosch" is searching for his wife. Daniel Stern plays a great role as A.J. "The Reverend" Shepherd. Great interesting story mixed with some suspense, social commentary and good comedy.Read more ›

As a longtime lover of horror movies, I've seen my share of bad films. Sometimes though, being bad is a virtue; a b-picture with a shaky set, rubbery effects and a terrible script can be forgiven if the film is really trying its best to rise above the limitations of budget. If anything, an a-list movie that falls on its backside is probably worse. I'll champion the best of the worst, and when it comes to low budget 80's shlock horror, CHUD really is the little engine that could.

There's something hot beneath the streets of New York. Radioactive-hot. People are going missing, the homeless undergrounders are starting to hunt for weapons, and the NRC are sniffing around the streets. Accidentally drawn into this mystery is a photographer that has been working with the undergrounders, and he rapidly comes to the conclusion that something is very wrong beneath the streets. At the same time, a local police captain is following up his own leads, which eventually leads him to an ex-con now running a soup kitchen. The three of them soon gather enough evidence that rats and alligators are the least of your worries - there are killer mutants in the Big Apple, and when they get peckish, only a human snack will hit the spot. With no-one willing to listen and a possible cover-up in full effect, can the oddball trio save the city from becoming a hot lunch?

Sounds fairly run of the mill, but there is a little bit of magic in CHUD. It really is trying its hardest to not be the low budget creature feature it is. The script is occasionally wry and funny, and the cast do their best despite the evident poverty-row stock this movie comes from. You'll recognise half the people in this movie as the jobbing character actors they are (a real treasure trove of "It's that guy from...
