117 C.H.U.D. (B-)

Considering this epic adventure is from 1984, it is pretty dang good.  The scenery is well done, considering.  The acting is well done, considering (taking the 80's style into mind when watching).  And the bad-guys living in the sewers are well done for sure.  They do a lot of "under-city" scenes, as in down under the man-holes and in what seems to be caverns under the city - and they are actually pretty cool.  I took a screen shot of the bad-guys below with their cool glowing eyes, it's the 2nd picture below.  They are a bit reminiscent of I Am Legend in this shot because they were hovering in a group until they were startled.

Overall it's fun and worth watching.  Some interesting cast as well, including a quick scene with a young John Goodman towards the end, a supporting role by Daniel Stern (Home Alone bad guy), and John Heard as the main character.

I also love that in the first minute, literally at 1:06, this happens (first screen shot below):
