C.H.U.D. hits a lot of the right notes, just not very hard. The story, in B-Movie terms, is fresh enough to warrant a watch. A new breed of monster other than vampires, werewolves etc. The acting is fine and it's nice to see some future Home Alone buddies Heard and Stern get to p...( read more)
Pretty lame. I rented it to have a crappy horror movie to laugh at, but nothing in it was funny or good at all. I like how the end doesn't even mention that any or all the monsters die, it just ends.

This movie is like swallowing your own vomit. Cheesy B rated film. I did not like it at first but it tends to grow on you like a seed wart. The creatures are good, and lord help us if our gov is mixed up in some crazy shit like this. lol

Even fans of the 80's horror genre are apt to be let down by this mess.
No recent reviews.
