  Review by Dan Abel ★★★ 3

  It's been some time since the C.H.U.D. project was discovered and destroyed under the streets of New York City. Now there's only one Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller left and he's a mere specimen for military scientists trying to perfect the ultimate soldier. When the operation is shut down, specimen Bud the Chud is sent to a CDC outpost in a small town where two high school students cause him to escape and start turning townsfolk into Chuds who crave human flesh.

  A few years ago when I first saw the two C.H.U.D. films I hated them both. That was before I really got into films and reviewing them as a hobby. So, a few days ago I revisited the first…

  Review by 1313: Tony the Terror😼🏳️‍🌈 ★★★ 3

  So weird that Joe Bob decided to do C.H.U.D. as the first movie of the evening because I randomly decided to watch this earlier this afternoon!

  Where did this movie even come from?! It’s nothing like the first one and I don’t think people were begging for more after part 1, but just like the sequel to Saturday the 14th, it happened anyway and I love that about the 80’s and 90’s horror era.

  This was pretty decent even if it wasn’t as amazing as I hoped. Some, well a lot actually, is pretty dumb, but watching Robert Vaughn be silly is something I need more of in my movies and literally every scene with the zombie poodle was pure gold, but the one where he drags the mailman across the yard had me straight guffawing.

  Bud the Chud is a major dud dudez! A fairly entertaining dud but ain't no Chuddy Buddy gonna save this duddy! Why was this even called Chud? It couldn't be more different from the OG. Still, I do enjoy a good wacky sequel that completely goes in a different direction. And its set at Halloween time bonus!

  Even though Bud the Chud is a total doofus there's lots of charm here. The teen characters are all pretty likeable and goofy and the hijinks are relentless. Five minutes in and they are chasing a corspe on a gurney down the street! As silly music plays in the background. Hilarious! This sets the tone for all the shennanigans that follow.

  When the…

  CHUD 2: BUD THE CHUD AINT NO DUD BUDZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

  Bud the Chud is another prime example of a sequel that turns the original on its head and injects pure wacky tobaccy cheese whizz straight into its heart and soul. Much like a Prom Night 2, Sleepaway Camp 2 or Troll 2 the overall tone and conventional nature of the original is pulverized into nonsensical dingus dust. AKA my kinda sequel!

  At this point of my life I would wayyyyy rather watch a stupid idiot zombie wile out at a bomb 80s Halloween dance than a creepy cannibal monster chomp people in a subway tunnel. Chud is fine but Bud the Chud is sublime. The first Chud is a downer while…

  BUD the CHUD! This was AMAZING dudes, quite the stud! Man, why is this fun flick so universally hated? Sure, it has nothing in common with the first film, our chudders are no longer slimy sewer freaks, the gore and bloodshed has gone totally kaput, and this leans so hard into slapstick comedy (zomedy?) that I guess I could see it turning some peeps off. But still, it's zany, it's wacky, it's legit funny, it's well made, and it wears STUPID as a badge of honor... Heck, it even has it's own Bud the Chud theme song!

  I AM A HUNGRY MAN!!

  So yeah, our best bud chud is now roaming the suburbs, being chased by some teenage…

  Review by FakeVoorhees ★★★

  With different characters, tone and even different monsters than the original, C.H.U.D. II is the kind of sequel that makes you wonder if the people responsible even saw the first movie. They sure do try to convince you it's related by calling their zombies C.H.U.D.'s a lot though. But C.H.U.D. II is a consistently amusing Halloween-set zombie comedy. I don't get all the hate for it aside from it not being in line with its predecessor. Taken as its own thing, it's a fun movie that's perfect to throw on in October.

  You givin' razor cuts now, Don? That's very progressive. I could take a fashion risk.

  Review by 🦇 GORY B MOVIE 🦇 ★★½ 1

  This doesn't feel like a sequel to C.H.U.D. and for good reason, it was written as a sequel to Return of the Living Dead. Knowing that the plot and tone make so much more sense. That also explains why, for me anyway, this was a more enjoyable film than C.H.U.D. I love Return of the Living Dead but C.H.U.D. is boring, pretentious, and lacks monsters. Bud the Chud is a ridiculous, zombie flick for fans of cheesy horror. As an added bonus there is a brief, uncredited cameo by Robert Englund in the film. If that sounds like your bag, check it out.

  Review by Geoffrey Broomer ★★½

  How many years did I steer clear of manhole covers after watching C.H.U.D.? Or when taking a shower - deciding to open some cabinet doors for an added barricade, just in case the lock on the door didn't hold. That cop in the donut shop looks suspiciously like Daniel Stern - not going to stop in there. The original C.H.U.D. is one of the more effective creature features of the 80s. Sadly what could have been a franchise takes a hard right at ongoing series status, prat falling into a slapstick teen comedy. Released 3 months after Weekend at Bernie’s, it's hard to say how much that manipulated corpse comedy influenced this zombie yarn, but if the fifteen million budget…

  Review by Hexagore ★★★½ 2

  "Katie! Yum Yum Yum!"

  It's like someone watched Bob the zombie in Romero's "Day of the Dead (1985)", changed his name into Bud, watched "Weird Science (1985)" and ordered composer Nicholas Pike to do an Oingo Boingo-style theme song with "Bud the Chud's theme". (It's great!) Infused it in the same spirit of the all-comedy sequel "Return of the Living Dead II (1988)" not even trying to come near the first film in terms of continuity/ similarities.

  Gone is the mutated hobo monster look, Bud played wonderfully by Gerrit Graham, is a light-hearted Frankenstein's monster shuffeling into a high school teen comedy. After two biology class rejects loose a corpse for an autopsy class by having the gurney scoot down…
