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
Theysit 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.
