31 Days of Halloween day 7!



C.H.U.D. (1984)

This will be a quick one. . .

Ah the 80’s, back when movie monsters didn’t look like they were rendered in a Playstation 2. The cult classic “C.H.U.D.” features many a monster and no cartoony CGI to be found anywhere. What does C.H.U.D. stand for you ask? Why Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller of course! Duh. Didn’t your mother teach you anything?

A photographer, a cop and a homeless shelter operators’ lives will circumvent when toxic-waste bellow the streets of Manhattan mutates the homeless population into hideous mutants hungry for human flesh! So basically it’s just another standard day in New York City. To give away too much of the plot would spoil some of the surprises in the film, but you’ll get to see mutants eating people left and right, a government conspiracy, 80’s hair and fashion and uh. . .did I mention the mutants yet?

Oh yeah, and John Goodman get eaten by monsters! You don’t see that every day. C.H.U.D. is a cheesy monster movie sure, but it’s a blast to watch with a group of friends late at night. If you haven’t seen it you should really check it out.

Rating – 6 out of 10 CHUD’s.
