C.H.U.D. is not just a horror film; it's a commentary on the socio-political issues of Reagan's America, reflecting on the consequences of slashed social benefits.
The narrative connects the horrors faced by the unhoused in New York, transformed into CHUDs due to neglect, to the broader abuses of power during the 1980s.
Jordan Peele's Us cleverly weaves in references to C.H.U.D., highlighting the enduring relevance of the horror genre in connecting fears across generations.
C.H.U.D. serves as a chilling reminder of how social neglect can manifest into terrifying realities, repurposing a B-movie monster story into a poignant political allegory.
