c.h.u.d (1984)

foundational literature for anyone who has called themselves a chud. but seriously this was so much better than whatever the hell i was expecting. unsure about the execution and ending but the premise in itself was 10/10, really well thought through imo. unfortunate the final act was a massive letdown. cannibalistic humanoid underground dweller sounds so much cooler than CHUD and it is so fascinating to learn about how this movie originated the funniest insult of all time for basement dwelling far right trolls and eventually morphed into whatever it is today, a generic term for npc losers? idk but an etymologist’s wet dream for sure
