CHUD.com, a backronym of Cinematic Happenings Under Development, was an American film news website created by Nick Nunziata in 1999 which is currently owned by Bigfoot Entertainment.[1] Its name and look were inspired by 1984's minor cult film C.H.U.D. (Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers).[2]

In addition to the film reviews and news it hosted a movie of the day column. It was one of the longest-running sites of its kind.[3][verification needed]
