Minor Jumps

C.H.U.D. (1984) features a low jump scare count. With one major jolt and a few minor ones, the film uses sudden movements, monster reveals, and sharp sounds to deliver its shocks. The scares are spaced out, with a few in the final act.

So how scary is C.H.U.D. (1984)? It’s more creature-feature than full horror, with most tension coming from atmosphere and surprise appearances. The tone is gritty and strange, leaning on mood and timing rather than nonstop scares.
