If you loved C.H.U.D., try The Kindred
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Kindred has roughly 3.9× fewer votes than C.H.U.D. — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theyboth carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Horror / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to C.H.U.D., the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Kindred is
Autumn leaves swirl around a decaying Victorian house, a single syringe glinting on the porch. John pries open his mother’s locked study, where petri dishes pulse and photographs show a child not in any family album. Spielberg’s suburban unease meets Cronenberg’s flesh horror, if Spielberg hated families.
