Excellent, Without a doubt!!

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Pure, unadulterated 80s trash - somehow featuring Robert Vaughan, who must have had urgent bills to pay at the time. Regular folks need not apply, only 80s trash fanatics.As others have observed, there's no connection whatsoever with the OG CHUD. It's just a zombie spoof. Low budget B movie. Absurd plot, of course. Hilarious theme song. Bud the Chud. So funny. Hearing Vaughan say "bud the chud" as dialogue is even funnier. It's not the worst 80s movie out there by a country mile, but it's not the best by the same margin. Enjoy!

Breaking into a secure facility, a group of teens thinking they've stolen a body for their science class inadvertently steal the body of a cannibalistic mutant who gets loose within the town and must team up with the military to stop the creatures from overrunning the streets.For the most part this one here was quite the fun and enjoyable cheesy effort. What makes this one work here is the fact that it is so cheesy and silly yet still manages to maintain a rather solid horror atmosphere when it really matters. Some of the comedy here, from the retrieval of the body and it's reanimation at their house where he stumbles around against their knowledge, the attack on the dancer in her house and the way he goes about collecting the bodies of others around town against the notice of the authorities who are right behind him give this the kind of enjoyably goofy and silly atmosphere here that was prevalent in that time-frame of films. As well, the scenes of the crowded horde swarming after the trick-or-treaters or crashing the Halloween dance to spring attacks on the unsuspecting partiers makes for some more goofy, cheesy antics throughout here and really just wrap this whole film up in the kind of non-serious attitude that makes it so much fun. This screwball humor is enough to help make the film quite a fun, fast-paced time as there's quite a lot of action to be had here as well due to their zombie-like behavior there's also a really high body-count in here which is another plus, and is something that comes about through it's constant series of scenes featuring them swarming onto their victims. Likewise, the finale in the school is also a great action scene with some pretty unique ideas playing in a really creative idea about ending their campaign which is cheesy good fun and certainly done with a cheesy tone to it. These here make this one pretty good as there's not a whole lot here that's actually off. Most of what's wrong with this falls into the category of it's cheesiness. The film in no way is anything other than a giant cheese-fest, and by featuring so many humorous or just plain corny scenes, it leaves this as a really fright-free film. It has no scares at all, and tension and suspense are shuffled aside to make way for jokes. That lessens the film somewhat, as there's potential here with the way it plays out but it's just way too much to the comedy side to really bring it back to the horror side. That also explains the film's other big problem, as even though there's a really big body count there's almost no gore whatsoever. It's not even a really bloody film, as there's a few scenes where an attack victim has a bloody wound or produces a mild splatter, but that's the extent of it's bloody thrills. With such a high body count, that's a really hard one to overlook. The rest of the film's problems aren't that bad, as these are the main ones.Rated R: Violence and some Language.

Well... many years ago, in all my naivety, I rented this one expecting a serious, scary and foul sequel to the original "C.H.U.D.", one of my 80's favorites (not even a guilty pleasure, mind you). After approximately 20 minutes I turned this turkey off, insulted and rather angry. It had absolutely NOTHING to do with the original (other than a very vague reference to the cannibalistic tendencies of the alleged Chuddies portrayed in this movie).Now - the year of writing is 2007 - more than a decade later, with the right mindset and under the influence of a certain person, I decided to give this film another shot. This time determined to watched it all the way through. And, yes, it's totally retarded, but... still some fun and worth a few laughs. It's a pretty dumb horror-comedy that tries to be something like "Night Of The Creeps" or "Return Of The Living Dead, part 2". But it fails completely in being as good. If you like mind-numbingly stoopie horror-spoofs, you still might have some fun with it. Even I did, I'll admit that much. And the climax in the swimming pool was even quite amusing. But I still hold a grudge against it for nearly traumatizing me more than a decade ago. And in the end, it's not much better than, let's say, the zombieësque equivalent of an 80's slasher-spoof like "Killer Party". Hence my rating.

If you happen to come across "C.H.U.D. II - Bud the Chud" and are expecting a logical sequel to the 1984 cult-classic, you will only walk away disappointed. If, however, you are in the mood for a nice, healthy portion of late-80's cheese, then this zombie-spoof just may be the ticket! After two bumbling teenage buddies (Brian Robbins and Bill Calvert) misplace a cadaver intended for their high school science class, they find a replacement in Bud (Gerrit Graham). Bud is a C.H.U.D. (which, if you recall the first film, stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers) and seeing as how he is the last of his kind, the government sees fit to stuff him away in a minimum security facility in a podunk little town. The two pry the titular Chud from the facility with minimal effort, and after killing the family dog and clogging the toilet, Bud strolls through town, turning anyone and everyone he comes across into a like-minded zombie, on the prowl for a little fun and a little flesh.This film is ridiculous, that's for sure. Whether it's the goofball dialog, the "Thriller" inspired dance number or the theme song that accompanies Bud, there is hardly a moment where it looks like anyone took what they were doing seriously when making this film. It has a real fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants spirit that maybe made its producers and distributors nervous, but nevertheless, translates to a gloriously goofy good time. Vibrant performances are in abundance, with everyone from seasoned actor Robert Vaughn, who viciously chews up the scenery, to the beautiful Tricia Leigh Fisher, the supportive girlfriend who finds herself the object of Bud's affection. Go into this one with expectations of a care-free good-time and you'll likely find "C.H.U.D. II - Bud the Chud" to be a blast.
