"C.H.U.D." is truly one of those weird little films that defied the odds and reached cult status; no one apparently saw this movie when it came out in theaters but everyone knows about it! It has a great concept, talented actors that include a young Daniel Stern and John Heard ("Cat People"), and decent looking creepy C.H.U.D.s aka Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. The action starts early on and stays pretty constant, which is helped by the energetic performances of the three main characters. This is one to most defeinetly watch and enjoy or at least to see and understand all of the jokes that "The Simpsons" make about the film.
The citizens New York city, particularly the homeless, are being the main food source for nasty little mutants that hide in the vast underground world of old buildings and sewers. Police Captain Bosch, photographer George Cooper, and soup kitchen AJ "The Reverend" Shepherd all become involved in trying to figure out what's really happening beneath New York City and soon find that the C.H.U.D.s are a direct result of another kind of C.H.U.D - Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal, and that the head of the Nuclear Regulartory Commission is just as dangerous as the mutant cannibals themselves.
