I don't know why I always believed this to be a comedy with bad acting. On the contrary, this is a serious movie with good actors and a pretty good script.
So, C.H.U.D. stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller, or Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal, as it is later revealed. Either way, that's a mouthful! Considering this is a monster movie, we didn't really get to see enough monsters, did we? Instead, the film played like a dramatic thriller, with monsters now and then. Despite this fact, I rather enjoyed the movie as it is. It was an interesting mystery thriller (to a certain extent), and I actually never found it boring. I enjoyed the characters, who were nicely fleshed out so I cared about all of them.
I must admit, the creature designs are bad. At times it was obvious they were only hand props, or a guy in a suit - with glowing eyes... yup...! Let's blame the budget, shall we? In general this was rather entertaining.
