Douglas Cheek's grotty urban horror fable C.H.U.D. deserves to be seen in its natural habitat--a Times Square grind-house theater--but horror enthusiasts will have to enjoy this widescreen version from the comforts of their own homes. John Heard stars as a former fashion photographer now pursuing a "real" career in photojournalism. While working on a piece about the homeless, he discovers that toxic waste, stashed in New York's sewer system, is turning tunnel squatters into the title acronym (Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers). Teaming up with frazzled soup kitchen capo (and fellow Home Alone alumnus) Daniel Stern, Heard uncovers a government conspiracy behind the mutations; horror fans will know exactly how the government handles its uncovered wrongdoings. While Gary Sherman's Raw Meat (1973) remains the final word in homeless horror films, C.H.U.D. has a threadbare charm, thanks to Cheek's poker-faced direction, the endearingly slap-dash effects (courtesy John Caglione Jr. and Ed French), and game performances by a surprisingly A-list cast, including appearances by John Goodman, Jay Thomas, Patricia Richardson, and Jon Polito.
Anchor Bay's DVD is uncut and retains all of the cutting-room footage added by New World Pictures to beef up the butchered TV version; furthermore, it features a rollicking commentary by Cheek, Heard, Stern, cast mate Christopher Curry, and writer Shephard Abbott, which is worth the purchase price alone. Easter-egg hunters should click on the C.H.U.D.'s glowing eyes in the main menu for a longer version of the grotesque shower scene. --Paul Gaita

C.H.U.D. is a brilliant cult classic 80's horror film that I remember watching when I was a kid, I used to have this on vhs along with the awful sequel called C.H.U.D.2: Chud The Bud. What I've noticed about this dvd is that the film is completely uncut and seems to be much longer than the previous version which is great, there were a couple of gore scenes that were cut along with the bloody shower scene. Anchor Bay did a terrific job transferring this film and the picture quality was high, there ... Read More

I like craptastic movies as much as the next guy, but this was a turd pure and simple. They barely show the "Dwellers" throughout the movie. It's a pantheon of actors who were braking there way in at the time. I give it two stars because I hear the commentary is supposed to be really funny, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. If you want to feel like a fool, buy this movie, otherwise netflix baby!

CHUD is a classic good, bad movie. If you can stand the long-winded dialogue during the beginning scenes, it's worth it. The acting is actually pretty good. Stick this one out.....then next time you head a "CHUD" reference you won't be out of the loop.

When the streets of New York City are hit with a rash of disappearances that strikes the sewer-dwelling homeless particularly hard, a police Captain teams with the owner of a soup-kitchen to find out what's going on. Meanwhile, a freelance reporter teams with a reluctant photojournalist in search of the same story. The horror they discover feels like an urban legend come to life, and the organization responsible will prove to be just as strong a danger as the cannibalistic, humanoid, underground dwellers ...
