A rash of bizarre murders in New York City seems to point to a group of grotesquely deformed vagrants living in the sewers. A courageous policeman, a photojournalist and his girlfriend, and a nutty bum, who seems to know a lot about the creatures, band together to try and determine what the creatures are and how to stop them.

Love this movie! Great gritty 1980s New York, great pre-Home Alone Heard 'n Stern, great slow burn on the CHUD reveals, love it. Also....John Goodman plays a cop for one scene, and in a matter of 30 seconds proves why he was so, so amazing as Dan Conner on Roseanne. The guy just oozes charms and charisma.

Awful. Long stagnant semi intertwining plots that serve to waste time. Worst still is that it really tries instead to be story led instead of being fun or thrilling. Story led and it's about cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers? This is the essense of boring. As if its not boring enough the C.H.U.D appear after an hour an they are stupid. You could acheive a better effect getting a pound shop mask and putting l.e.d lights in the eye hole. You have to fight the urge to turn the movie off. The director cannot capture horror in any way. So bad it's bad.

A true classic horror/sci-fi of the 80s with some future big name actors. The 80s synth soundtrack is worth it alone! Silly, absolutely. Dodgy effects and dubious plot, that’s a yes. It’s what this kind of film should be but in a good way :)

I only watched this because it was referenced in the movie US. Monster design was good but that was about it. Why was John Goodman just wasted on one scene and not the star?

I had my doubts with this one looking at the poster, but the quick synopsis sounded neat.

All in all I'm glad I got around to this one I had a really good time with it. It helps we don't see the creatures except for their claws for a good amount of time which goes in their favor. When they are r More

I remember watching this back in the mid-80's - probably close to the time it came out, maybe? - but I certainly don't recall it being this horrendous. Wow... What a stinker. Soooooooooooooo many bad things can be said about this film but I suppose chief among them is the rubber monster ... thing... More
