Plot Summary

A group of college students stumbles upon a military experiment gone wrong when a freezer truck full of mutated, flesh-eating "Chuds" is stolen and unleashed upon a suburban community. The students must band together to stop the creatures before they consume everyone in sight.

Critical Reception

This sequel to the 1984 cult classic C.H.U.D. is widely regarded as a significant departure in tone, leaning heavily into a more comedic and less serious horror approach. It received generally poor reviews from critics, who found it to be a forgettable and often silly entry in the genre, though some audiences appreciated its B-movie charm and attempts at humor.

What Reviewers Say

  • The film attempts a more lighthearted, comedic take on the C.H.U.D. concept, which alienates fans of the original.
  • Often criticized for its low budget, uneven pacing, and lack of genuine scares.
  • Despite its flaws, some viewers find its campy nature and over-the-top gore amusing in a B-movie sense.

Google audience: Audience reception for C.H.U.D. II: Bud the Chud is largely negative, with many viewers finding it a disappointing and poorly executed sequel. Common criticisms include a nonsensical plot, weak performances, and a tone that clashes with the original film.

Fun Fact

Despite being a sequel, the "Chuds" in this film are depicted as mutated humans rather than the subterranean mutants from the original, a change that was not well-received by fans.

Watching it again was mainly a nostalgic thing. I saw it when I was little on HBO in the middle of the night and, it's one of those horrible movies that, if you see it at the right age and in the right era, it becomes something of a classic...
