C.H.U.D. (Douglas Cheek, 1984): A Fright Friday Film Review

Hey Horror Hounds! Today on the channel I'm reviewing the 1984 sci-fi/horror flick "C.H.U.D. (Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers)"! This film has John Heard and Daniel Stern and is a fan favorite of 80s schlock. Watch this video to hear my full rundown on this cult flick. Thank you for watching!!

This is one of those titles that I saw on the shelf nearly every time I was in a rental store, but never got around to seeing, Aside from the later DVD commentary, it sounds like I wasn't missing much. The only Chuds I tend to see are in comment sections.. which is arguably worse.

lol, this movie is such a classic. Now I will admit to our much more discerning and adult eyes, yeah this movie is pretty cheesy with some very hilariously stupid moments in it but thankfully, it has a diamond in the DVD and Blu-ray in the form of the Cast and Crew Commentary track. It is easily one of the top commentary tracks ever made. They make fun of the movie, they make fun of themselves, they actually realize that the producer (who changed a lot of what was originally conceived and actually sounded like a decent horror flick into this cheese fest) owes them money from bonuses they had signed up for if the movie made a certain amount of money. So you'll get lines like, "Well it's got a DVD. I think he owes us that money!" Funny enough about the Criterion April Fool's Joke, this would eventually get an Arrow Limited Edition Blu-ray release (which you can still find for a decent price, used or get the non limited edition which omits the theatrical cut of the film). I highly, highly recommend owning this just for the commentary track alone. In fact, thanks to your video I'll be watching it today because it's been a while. lol

It is horrible movie, but also rite of passage for horror fans:)
