Rating: Summary: A four-star short subject, a two-star feature Review: The first hour or so of CUJO basically kills time. Then comes the exciting part where the rabid St. Bernard dog terrorizes a mother and child who are trapped in a stalled car. That half-hour would have been a scary short subject but sitting through CUJO's boring first hour made me wish I was late for the movie.
Rating: Summary: Studio rips off DVD owners again! >:o( Review: The movie pretty good, I'm a bit disapointed they didn't follow the book ending, but that's a minor complaint. It is also a bit dated, but still a worthwhile film. What ticks me off is the studios releasing DVD's that look like 10 year old VHS copies. DVD Should be crystal clear! The picture here is as fuzzy as the dog!
Rating: Summary: This Movie Is All About SuSpEnSe!!!![....] Review: The reason all you people hate this is because it's not about gore, it's about suspense. All you people probably like gory movies. Stephen King movies are about suspense and thrills not just gore. I would suggest a Scream Movie.This is a great suspenseful movie. They should of extended the movie to two hours ( instead of 1 hour and a half ) to tell more of the story. If you haven't seen this yet I would suggest reading the book first to know the whole story. If you like the movie buy it, if you don't then your just plain CrAzY!!!![....]
Rating: Summary: A great film that's quite hard to watch. Review: This film can be quite disturbing and hard to watch. If you do not like seeing very young 5-year old children suffering and crying their eyes out and screaming you may not like this. Ok, so most of the film at the beginning drags a bit, but it introduces you to the characters and it deeps down into their lives. But once Cujo kills his first victim the real scary stuff begins to happen. The film is about a dog named "Cujo", who gets bitten by a rabid bat while he is chasing a rabbit. We then move to a family: mom (Donna), dad (Vic) and their son (Tad) and we look at their lifestyles and problems. We then go back to Cujo, who is beginning to get very dirty and hiding in many places away from his owner in their farm. Cujo soon transforms into the monster he becomes after the rabid bite and kills the owner. Then, Donna and Tad are driving along the road, when their car suddenly stops in the middle of Cujo's far. No one is in sight, until Cujo suddenly appears. Donna and Tad are forced to stay in the car, so Cujo can't kill them. Whenever Cujo tries to attack the car it can be quite disturbing and frightening. There are also lots of jumpy moments and un-predictable ones. I would only watch this if you are a hardcore horror movie fan, or a Stephen King fan. But there are some really shocking scenes which could be too much for others.
Rating: Summary: Too light to be enlightening Review: This film is based on the novel by Stephen King, quite faithfully as for the pattern but not the details, the flesh of the story. It emphasizes, with the images, the ugliness of the situation, of the panic of the mother in this situation that is clearly shown as a punishment for her unfaithfulness due to the direct connection between the two situations. It is all the more frightening because they are trapped by a dog, a dog being the best friend of man and here it turns rabid and it kills as many people as it can, and no one can do anything to stop it, except the mother when she discovers her boy is dead. Then she finally finds the energy to fight and kill the dog. It is also made more poignant by the fact that the dog is a Saint-Bernard, a dog that is known for its benevolence, and its helpful character as for its relations to men and women. Here it is a killer. But the film remains rather flat after all because too many details are avoided. Dr Jacques COULARDEAU, Paris Universities II and IX.
Rating: Summary: Maddogg Muttley..*woof* Review: This has got to be one of the worst made movie of a Steven King novel ever. It's about a St.Bernard that's chasing a lil bunny rabbit into a hole and then sticks his bignose where it doesn't belong, A Bat Cave. The dog then gets bitten on the schnoz by an angry bat, and yep thats the whole pitcher right there. A slobbering mess of a movie. Watch it if you like Dee Wallace. Otherwise avoid this rabid muttley mess. It's definitley lost it's bark
Rating: Summary: Pretty good. Review: This movie had the scares, the suspense, and the acting, so I can't see why you haven't seen this yet. Buy or rent and watch alone in the dark.
Rating: Summary: Terror Has A New Name... Review: This movie is without a doubt one of the worst movies ever made! By the end of this movie I was crying it was so bad. The only good thing about this movie is little Danny Pintauro stars as Tad. But other then that this movie is truely terrible. DON'T RENT IT OR BUY IT UNLESS YOU HAVE READ THE BOOK AND LIKED IT!
Rating: Summary: 2 stars is really being too kind!!!!!!!! Review: This movie was definitely disappointing to the viewers that had the pleasure of reading the book. I thought this movie ... to be quite honest. I thought the movie was dry and boring to say the least. It could have been so much better when you think about all the ways they could have took that story about a rabid dog however, the angle they chose just didn't appeal to me. "Cujo" didn't measure up to my expectations at all.
Rating: Summary: The book was a million times better Review: This movie was pretty bad. the book was much better. i read the book when i was ten and loved it. i ordered the DVD because i loved the book so much. It was to bad i did because i thought the movie was pretty bad. The dog that played cujo was so small, he's supposed to weigh 200pounds and be the size of a horse. I felt so bad for poor Cujo though. What suprised me the most was that the DVD had no special features, not even a theatrical trailer! if u wanna read Cujo read the book first.
