C.H.U.D.: Cannibalistic. Humanoid. Underground. Dwellers. (1984) — Friday Night WTF! — $5
September 11 : 9:00 pm – 10:45 pm
Friday Night WTF screenings are cheap, weird, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night.
“[A] gloriously scuzzy slice of urban sci-fi horror…C.H.U.D. isn’t just essential B-movie viewing. It’s a damp, strange, unexpectedly sharp little horror film that’s still growling under the city.” – Collider
Before it described MAGA mouth-breathers and internet idiots, C.H.U.D. stood for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. Douglas Cheek’s cult ’80s favorite once again crawls out of the sewers and onto the big screen to provide the ultimate underground movie experience. In downtown Manhattan, a police captain’s hunt for his missing wife uncovers a series of mysterious disappearances in the area. When he extends his search into the tunnels and sewers below, it soon becomes clear that something monstrous lurks beneath the city streets – and it’s not staying down there much longer! Uniting John Heard and Daniel Stern years before Home Alone and featuring an early appearance by beloved St. Louis native John Goodman, C.H.U.D. updates the 1950s creature feature for the 1980s with gloriously goopy, gloppy, gory results.
