More than just a ‘monster movie’
If you look at the crop of ‘video nasties’ and general ‘monster movies’ that came out in the eighties then it’s pretty easy to lump ‘C.H.U.D.’ in with those. Most promotional material shows the ugly old monster with its glowing eyes and you’ll probably think it’s just another man in a rubber suit chomping his way through some semi-clad teens. But you might be wrong.

‘C.H.U.D.’ is an example of making the most of what you have. Monster effects clearly don’t come cheap (even in the eighties!), so what you get is quite sparse when it comes to ‘creature effects.’ However, not only does this build up the tension quite nicely when you only really see parts of the monster (think the way ‘Alien’ did it), but it also gives plenty of time to the human characters – who are definitely NOT semi-clad blonde teens!

I felt the story had shades of ‘Jaws,’ i.e. someone with knowledge of what’s really happening, trying to get a public area closed, but only to face opposition from the powers in charge who feel that any form of closure would hurt businesses/the economy. What follows is a mix of characters trying to get parts of New York closed because there are some pretty nasties creatures living in the sewers who have suddenly developed quite a liking for human flesh.

The cast, mainly led by John Heard, are all adults and all get their fair share of screen time. Plus those you may think may end up getting eaten/captured actually do their bit in terms of ‘character development’ and also break a few horror movie cliches here and there.

When you do finally see the monsters in their ‘full glory’ – yes, they look about as convincing as most creatures of the era, but if you can forgive that, you can also ‘enjoy’ the amount of realistic gore that’s been included in terms of dead, mutilated bodies strewn around New York.

If you’re a fan of ‘monster-munching’ movies, or like your old cheesy eighties horror flicks, this one definitely deserves a watch as there are plenty of gory and gruesome moments and even a few plot points you may not see coming.

It’s safe to say, I did not get a CHUDDY watching this movie.

C.H.U.D. definitively had a pair of effective moments. Too bad there were just two of those and the rest, sadly was either discounted “from around the corner” effects or just plain boring. I have always been curious to see this movie since I was a lad, but never got around to it until about a week ago.

Sadly, since that’s time has passed (9 days,) I’ve forgotten most of this movie. Well, it wasn’t a great movie anyways. It’s boring for long stretches, incredibly cheap horror, humor that falls flat and couldn’t live past its creepy opening kill.

Basically, it’s 1980’s Alligator, but with humans, sorta. Creatures from below are snatching people, animals, whatever while inept police decide what to do with it. You can tell this is extreme low budget with the lack of full-on attacks and most are done around the corner, behind a door or in the dark.

Today, in 2013, it’s not even worth visiting, or revisiting if you’ve seen this before. It doesn’t necessitate a remake nor a recommendation from me, despite two minute creepy moments. (And they don’t last long enough to promote a viewing.)

* * * Final thoughts: They made a sequel to this? Really? I’ll have to check that (off my list and toss the idea of watching it) out.
