Review of C.H.U.D. (1984) by Bryan W — 28 Dec 2008

You know, occasionally you get exactly what you expect from a title in the way you least expect it. This film doesn't aspire to be anything more than a trashy horror film and succeeds admirably. The actors take the proceedings just seriously enough while the plot provides the necessary meat of social commentary (though it's executed with comparable stealthiness to dropping a live grenade in one's lap) in a funny and slightly scary Z-movie.
