What better way to start the year than with a monster movie in which the creatures are literally crawling out of holes in the ground? It's simply ideal for Movie Oubliette! Nominated by our Patron, Philip O', C.H.U.D. (1984) is a New World Pictures production set in 80s New York City... so you better believe this is gritty and wild! Starring John Heard, Daniel Stern, Kim Greist and one-scene-CHUD-victim John Goodman, the film has a host of surprisingly well-drawn characters investigating the disappearance of homeless people in the city's labyrinthine underground world. But does it deserve to be the first film we save from the oubliette this year? Find out!
