C.H.U.D. (Blu-ray)
THEY’RE NOT STAYING DOWN THERE, ANYMORE!
From the subterranean depths it crawls! Finally making its long-awaited debut on Blu-ray, director Douglas Cheek's cult '80s favorite C.H.U.D. is the ultimate underground movie experience.
In downtown Manhattan, a police captain's hunt for his missing wife leads to the discovery of a series of mysterious disappearances in the area. Extending his search into the tunnels and sewers below the city streets, it soon becomes clear that something monstrous is lurking in that subterranean world - and it won't stay there much longer...
Starring John Heard (Home Alone) and Christopher Curry (Starship Troopers) alongside an early appearance from John Goodman, C.H.U.D.has justifiably built up a huge cult following in the years since its release in 1984, with one of the most iconic creature designs of the period.

"the prospect of seeing established actors in a Larry Cohen-style exploration of monsters rampaging through '80s Manhattan is simply too bizarre to resist."
