Eve Tushnet Patheos As seamy and strange as its reputation promises. I loved this weird, sad film. Mar 4, 2019 Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk a fun slice of Reagan-era monster madness that embodies more than a few of its era's political and environmental fears Rated: 3/4 Dec 3, 2016 Full Review Rob Vaux Mania.com Boring in the extreme, lurching along in search of diversion before fitfully delivering what the customers presumably paid to see. Rated: D+ Oct 24, 2014 Full Review James O'Ehley Sci-Fi Movie Page If Woody Allen's Manhattan was a cinematic love song to New York, then surely C.H.U.D. is its hate song! Feb 10, 2009 Full Review Chuck O'Leary FulvueDrive-in.com Rated: 1/5 May 7, 2007 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures I wanted to see this movie as a kid, but when I finally did, I was disappointed.

KING S Another great 80”s horror flick , creepy and sets the viewer in a very dark place below the streets under NY tunnel ways where your always on edge wondering what’s going to pop up , infected homeless or the mutated monsters ? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review le m The slow-burn, bone-chilling, spine-tingling, genre-redefining gem that saved the party. How many shall watch? Millions, billions even! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/24 Full Review David W A cult classic, subversive, b-movie horror with nicely fleshed out characters for the genre. It's different, enjoyed this a lot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/13/23 Full Review Steve D With what I thought of the lead character I quickly found myself rooting for the C.H.U.D. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/07/23 Full Review Margaret C An absolute cinematic gem (assuming that Manos: Hands of Fate or any Ed Wood film is your jam!) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/05/23 Full Review Sonja C I grew up on these cheesy horror movies and I'm still love them to this day! I like looking back at movies where there was no cell phones to call for help ! Lol!!!!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/22/22 Full Review Read all reviews
