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.

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]

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.

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.

Never saw the movie, but the name for C.H.U.D is to funny to not give a 10/10.

El nombre C.H.U.D. basta para llamar la atención y el trailer se ve interesante, lamentablemente lo último resulta ser lo único interesante de esta película ya que si bien tiene buen aspecto y la banda sonora otorga buena ambientación el resto se queda muy corto, demasiada charla y poco movimiento y las criaturas en cuestión no aparecen más de lo que salen en el trailer, en pocas palabras es una cinta muy aburrida.
