- 70The New York TimesLawrence Van GelderThe New York TimesLawrence Van GelderC.H.U.D. makes no pretension toward serious theses about government or the environment. It is meant to be light commercial entertainment, and in the category of horror films it stands as a praiseworthy effort.
- 63Washington PostWashington PostDespite its bare-bones plot and minimal effects, C.H.U.D. is kept floating by thankfully underplayed acting and Parnell Hall's script. [26 Sep 1984, p.D6]
- 50The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsThe A.V. ClubKeith PhippsPerfect for bleary-eyed late-night viewing and pretty much unwatchable at any other hour, it does make for an oddly appropriate refresher course for life under a Republican president.
