C.H.U.D. 2: Bud The CHUD

I would like to note that nothing you see on this movie poster actually happens.

     The CHUD program is ending, and the last experiment escapes. I guess his name is Bud.  He's recaptured rather quickly, but for some reason, they decided to hide the body in some 'Podunk Midwestern town'. Look, I'm not sure if it's good practice to leave a body on the loading docks, but this is an 80's movie, and that sort of thing happens all the time. Once again, Bud breaks free, and we're knee-deep in a silly, pointless sequel. But, let's be honest. This isn't a horror movie, it's a damn comedy. Everyone is incompetent,  most of the talent is wasted by making the characters into complete tools, and slapstick comedy isn't very horror-movie like.  And speaking of talent, check out this cast:

Bianca Jagger?!?
June Lockhart?!?
Robert Vaughn?!?
Larry Linville?!?---Actually, he was a scene-stealer. He did great.

     Now let's talk about Bud for a minute. He's the last of the CHUD experiments, and he breaks loose only to fall into the hands of two completely daft high school students. Played by Garrit Grahm, he's basically Frankenstein's monster unleashed into a house full of suburbanite twats. Half the movie is him 'learning' how to do things like flush the toilet, walk, eat dogs, ect. He even tries some aerobics. Anyone he bites, he infects with his CHUD royal jelly, and they become one as well. He even has his own theme music with people chanting 'Bud the CHUD' over a very 80s soundtrack. But all Bud wants is meat. Any kind he can get his CHUDy little hands on. He's insatiable and starts spreading this joy to most of the town.

"Hi. My name is Bud. My hobbies include eating people, eating people, and when I'm really bored, I eat people."

     Like all movies involving teens in the 80s, the climax happens at a high school dance as a mob of newly infected CHUD's crash the party and try to turn it into a meat market. Wacky hi-jinks ensue, and this is why I drink bourbon. This town is full of morons and deserves to be eaten by CHUDS. Thankfully, because I know you're not going to watch this movie and therefore I don't feel bad about dropping this spoiler, one of the protagonist becomes infected, and heads out on the open road. Good for him. Get out there and see the world, you disease ridden animated corpse.

Tuesday: For once, a non-pointless sequel? Maybe?
