Description

THEY'RE NOT STAYING DOWN THERE, ANYMORE! From the subterranean depths it crawls! Director Douglas Cheek's cult '80s favorite C.H.U.D. is the ultimate underground movie experience. In downtown Manhattan, a police captain's hunt for his missing wife uncovers a series of mysterious disappearances in the area.

Starring John Heard (Cat People) and Daniel Stern (City Slickers, Home Alone) alongside an early appearance from John Goodman, C.H.U.D. finally lurches back onto the streets and is sure to delight the most discriminating of creature feature fans!

  • chud good
Director: Douglas Cheek Cast: John Heard, Daniel Stern, Christopher Curry, Kim Greist, Laure Mattos, Brenda Currin, Justin Hall, Michael O'Hare, Cordis Heard. Running Time: 88 minutes Rated R for language, violence, and gore. One of the opening images in the supremely cliched "C.H.U.D" (which stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers) is a full-on shot of a truck banner reading "Slow Moving Vehicle." That's the most valid image in the whole film. Under Manhattan, mysterious creatures terrorize the homeless who live in the sewers, and begin striking those who walk the streets as well. When one disappearance involves a precinct captain's wife, the captain starts investigating the situation by asking around a neighborhood soup kitchen. The captain, Bosch, is played by Christopher Curry, a here-and-gone Martin Mull lookalike whose casual handling of his wife's disappearance would come off as absurd if we hadn't previously gotten a load of what she looks like. While Curry is the main actor, two better-known names have key supporting roles, Daniel Stern as the grimy soup kitchen director (only the destitute would accept a meal from him) and John Heard as a photographer. Heard's character has little to do with the story, and the way he's brought in is lazy and forced. He has some photos of streetpeople, and one homeless woman calls him for bail. He takes a photo of a gored leg that shows something sinister is going on, though all I saw was bad make-up. Through most of the film, we see him blow off deadlines and interact unaffectionately with his live-in girlfriend, played by Kim Griest. Heard here is smug and charmless, wasting away as "C.H.U.D." decomposes before the very eyes of the audience. Sewer creatures rising up in the big city is not a bad concept, but not only does the film fail to do anything with it, the audience get a lot of inert moments where people trade cliché-ridden dialogue and ridiculous characterization. There's a stonewalling government official played by George Martin who bulges his eyes and sneers at every question and gives us an obvious central villain since the budget is too cheap to show us much of the monsters. The creatures are meant to horrify but merely look like inept Halloween window displays, while the unbearable synthesized score sounds like a seven-year-old toying with a department-store display organ. The whole movie is like that, jumping from effect to effect, hitting us with little shock moments here and there, not tying anything in. This is not scary, just annoying. "C.H.U.D" gets mentioned as an askew satire, but just isn't in the same class as "Tremors" or "Return of the Living Dead," let alone an "Evil Dead film". To recite another cliché: You have been warned. 9 people found this helpful Helpful ... show more

  • SMART FILMAKING WITH LIMITED BUDGET MAKES FOR A CULT CLASSIC!
Can't lie: I just finished watching this movie for what is probably the 10th time, spread out over the years, and each time, I understand it a little better. With a very limited budget ( these are not sets but actual sewer and subway scenes), the Director has given us a dirty , grimy, REAL NYC of the 80s, where it is almost perpetually night, and when it is day, they are under the subways and sewers where it is even darker. The streets where the main protagonists of the movie live, have a "life" of their own, with a barren desolate look that inspires nothing but creepiness. This movie absolutely requires multiple viewings: reason is, that there are a multitude of seemingly unconnected plots going on here: The Fashion photographer and his hot model live in gal, The Police Captain, Bosch, the supposed NRC head honcho and main villain; plus Daniel Stern in a fantastic performance as an equally gritty and dirty "reverend" who runs a soup kitchen, the weird underground people who come up to eat at his soup kitchen, and also a nosy reporter who is trying to make sense of it all. Trust me: when you finish the movie, and again, it may require several viewings, you will see that everything totally ties in together, as their paths cross to the extent that they get closer and closer, literally and figuratively. and then there are the monsters, but are they "monsters" ? Or are they really victims of an insidious government cover up! Yeah, it's men in suits, but they still look pretty scary and they are no joke. And all of this happens with a sense of urgency that builds up and up until maybe halfway through the movie, it has you on the edge of your seat as it all comes together. Anyone who is a fan of the "so bad it's good", this is a must see film...and in this case, the more you watch it and grasp the full plot and logic of it all, the more you will not think of it in the "bad" category. ... show more

  • Cult classic, and holds up very well. Nothing like it...
CHUD is in my top five movies of all time. I saw it at a very young age and it has been giving me recurring (but sort of fun) nightmares for the last thirty years. I think the monsters came out pretty creepy and the sewer filming locations are so spooky. There is some very nostalgic mood and imagery associated from 1980s New York... a 'gritiness' and grungy old school flavor, and this film (along with Wolfen and The Warriors a few years earlier) captures it perfectly. The music is incredibly unique and unsettling. Some parts may have been considered 'cheesy' or 'low-budget', but people need to understand that over long periods of time these things can take on a different artistic effect than intended- in a really great way. Like how some records come out and aren't appreciated until decades later. The imperfections make it more unusual and frightening, if not fascinating. All the filmmakers and actors should take a lot of pride and credit for this film. There is nothing like it and never will be. It comes from a magical era in film. Modern CGI makes horror films fail the test of time in my opinion. CHUD is old school- the 'analog' make-up effects hold up, and the film shows *just enough* of the creatures to leave the rest to your imagination (the scariest thing about a horror film, in my opinion). ... show more

  • Best Monster Movie Ever, Ever.
Often, reminiscing about experiences from your past brings more satisfaction than indulging in full nostalgia; nothing ever seems as good as we remember. This is exactly *not* the case, as this movie is every bit as fun and enjoyable as the first time I saw it as a child in the 1980's. It does everything a good monster movie should do, from plot development, character writing, dialogue and practical effects. Everyone should own a copy of this movie. It's too good to be a cult hit and deserves a place in movie history as one of the greatest ever made! ... show more
