Plot Synopsis
Storyline
A rash of bizarre murders in New York City seems to point to a group of grotesquely deformed vagrants living in the sewers. A courageous policeman, a photo journalist and his girlfriend, and a nutty bum, who seems to know a lot about the creatures, band together to try and determine what the creatures are and how to stop them. Written by Philip Brubaker <coda@nando.net>
Taglines:
A recent article in a New York newspaper reported that there were large colonies of people living under the city... The paper was incorrect. What is living under the city is not human. C.H.U.D. is under the city. See more »Parents Guide:

entertaining flick is downright grim and quite gory at times it has a witty script good acting a cool ending and a nice little twist that you don't see coming it has decent humor hardly any logic lapses and is just fun to watch and in the final scene John Goodman shows up!!!!!!!!! the dialog is always interesting and it has a lot of cool death scenes and cool looking creatures and it sets up a sequel (in my opinion) a real sequel there is a sequel but it's unrelated to the first i have not seen it yet anyway back to the movie i liked the grim feeling throughout the movie it was also kinda creepy the actors deliver funny performances but it has a few flaws it slows down in the middle only to pick up near the end and there is not a lot of action still its a decent little flick that i recommend **1/2 out of 5
