C.H.U.D. II: Bud the Chud

1989 ·1h 25m · ★ 4.3 (87)

A military experiment to create a race of super-warriors goes awry, as legions of murderous zombies are unleashed upon a suburban neighborhood.

Why it matters

Military sci-fi meets low-budget zombie chaos in this goofball sequel that embraces its B-movie DNA with gleeful abandon.

  • Practical effects and creature design lean into late ’80s splatter camp, delivering grotesque yet charmingly cheesy zombies.
  • Perfect for fans of off-the-wall cult horror sequels and midnight cable nostalgia.
  • Suburban setting ups the ante with a cheeky “science gone wrong” vibe rooted in Cold War paranoia.
  • Not high art, but its earnest absurdity and moments of gross-out inventiveness make it a guilty pleasure with cult credentials.
