Written by Parnell Hall
IMDB

Some people may know Parnell Hall as the author of the Puzzle Lady series of books. I know his as the author of the hit movie C.H.U.D.
C.H.U.D. is an acronym that stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. Basically, they are mutated homeless people. They are zombies. They take a bite out of you, you become a C.H.U.D. yourself.
The worst part of this film is the periods in C.H.U.D. I don't want to type periods between letters. It's annoying.
I really enjoyed this film. My pal, Glenn, heard from his friend Stephen that this was a bad movie. Glenn's friend was wrong. This is a fun zombie movie, although a little slow at times. It even has a message: don't store toxic waste underground in New York City.
If you're a zombie movie fan, you should check this out. While C.H.U.D.s are technically monsters, they do share many similarities with zombies. Check it out.

7/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
