Reviews

The New York Times -
C.H.U.D. makes no pretension toward serious theses about government or the environment. It is meant to be light commercial entertainment, and in the category of horror films it stands as a praiseworthy effort.

|
Washington Post -
Despite its bare-bones plot and minimal effects, C.H.U.D. is kept floating by thankfully underplayed acting and Parnell Hall's script. [26 Sep 1984, p.D6]

|
The A.V. Club -
Perfect for bleary-eyed late-night viewing and pretty much unwatchable at any other hour, it does make for an oddly appropriate refresher course for life under a Republican president.

TV Guide Magazine -
A good story and some good effects, but it's a subject that could stand a better, more defined script and more attention to the issues involved.
