C.H.U.D., 1984
C.H.U.D., 1984 (directed by Douglas Cheek, produced by Andrew Bonime)—very spoilery, btw. Ah, the 80s. The decade of the deep divide between the haves and have-nots. When the film opens, a woman, Flora Bosch (Laure Mattos, real-life wife of co-star Daniel Stern), walks her Westie down a gritty New York street. As she passes a manhole, a creature drags her and the

Reptilicus, 1961 Danish/American film (directed by Poul Bang, Denmark version, released in 1961, Sidney W. Pink in the US for American International Pictures, of course, released in the States in 1962 after being extensively reworked). Highly recommended for fans of old monster movies with giant anythings in them, lovers of the cheesiest of cheesy special FX (as one critic put it:
