C.H.U.D

Cannibalistic.Humanoid.Underground.Dwellers.

How can you fail to see this film?!

Plot: A cop, a photographer, a journalist and an ex-con soup kitchen manager (Daniel Stern-Home Alone) uncover a race of creatures living and eating in the sewers and subways of New York City. Of course, there's a government cover up and lots of very good monster make up.

Oddly enough, this film actually carries it's own weight. Well acted, badly shot, well-ish written and given it's production date-1984, actually could have been a touch scary...at one point.

Budget: $1,250,000

Gross: $4,654,000

Fun Fact: The film sets up for the sequel-C.H.U.D.-Bud the C.H.U.D, starring Bianca Jagger and a cameo by Robert Englund. John Goodman makes a surprise appearance, pre-Roseanne. The script was largely re-written by the film's stars.
