10 Awful Horror Movies That Need To Be Remade

2. C.H.U.D.

Wishmaster movie
New World Pictures

Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers, that's the kind of thing you're dealing with here. With a title like that, you'll likely guess that this is a cheesy B-movie from the '80s, and you'd be right. This ludicrous movie was never designed to make a big impact, just to deliver some cheap scares. Despite that, these cannibal monsters deserve to strike again.

C.H.U.D. is a movie about a collection of mutated creatures who dwell in the sewers of New York City, where they feed on the homeless and anyone else they can get their hands on. It's the kind of schlock-filled nonsense you can enjoy poking fun at with friends, but not something to be taken seriously. Despite that, the concept has real potential to be a scary masterpiece.

With the right guiding hand, these monsters could be utterly terrifying, and seeing them invade the urban setting of New York could pose a frightening look at horror in a familiar environment.

The film also has a distinct focus on homelessness, an issue that's regarded much more sensitively nowadays. Thus, this stupid movie about sewer monsters could actually have something valuable to say about the modern world.
