Rating: Summary: Sit Cujo, Stay Cujo, Play Dead Cujo! Review: A grip taking, startling, suspenseful Stephen King thiller. You'll never look at your pet dog the same after you've witnessed the blood curdling Cujo. As most Stephen King movies do, it starts off a bit slow and may even be considered a bit tedious and boring. However, the end is worth the wait. A loveable St. Benard(Cujo) is infected with the rabies disease after being bitten by a bat. Dee Wallace Stone and Johnathan Pintauro star as mother and son held captive in their broken down automobile by the torturous beast. This movie does not need all the blood and gore of other King movies to make it affective. I say if you like Stephen King movies then, take a "BITE" out of Cujo and check it out!!!!
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: sucks! Review: I'll cut to the chase....Plot ..., movie ..., not scary, will put horror fans to sleep...BAD MOVIE!
Rating: Summary: The best horror movie ever! Review: 2 people trapped inside a small car...trapped in the middle of nowhere...a large,rabid dog around...these are great elements that make a great horror film!You never know when Cujo will suddenly appear in a frothing,mad fury.A must have for any horror film collection!
Rating: Summary: Poor Review: Basically about a woman and her young son trapped inside their car for days because it broke down and outside theres a killer st.bernard dog with rabies that tries to charge himself in at the car at a number of points in the movie. Overall Its defenately not the best horror at all. It did keep me waiting to see what happens next, but it wasnt good at all, poor storyline and ending.
Rating: Summary: What is up with this cover art? Review: Actually a fairly good Stephen King translation, I remember being genuinely frightened a few times when this played theatrically. But my fondest memory of the movie was its poster: a beautiful sun-bleached drawing of a very east-coast summer house, surrounded by a picket fence splattered with blood in the form of Cujo's name. Warner home video used this artwork when intially releasing the video over a decade ago, and now? This picture of a clownish lip-sticked overly-reddened St. Bernard and his teeth is clearly not even a shot from the movie! I have always questioned/doubted the wisdom of revisionist cover-art for video releases, but this one takes the cake as the most artless piece of junk I've ever seen.
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: Frightening movie. Review: "Cujo" is definitely a good horror movie. Has good suspense, authentically frightening, and is a very good example of how this adaptation of King's novel has an impact on its viewers/readers. First, a woman with marital problems along with her toddler-age boy are trapped in their car for about 1 day and a night, with their -use-to-be-lovable-St. Bernard into a bloodthirsty killer. Has a predictable happy ending, but nevertheless it holds true to the story. This and other King's novels are a very good example of King's creativity of horror, like "The Shining" and "Carrie" (King's first novel.). But also, King has a different side of story-telling, like touching books ("The Shawshank Redemption"; "The Green Mile") made into very good (and award-winning) movies. This proves that he is destined to go down in movie/book history as a famous author of well-defined books of horror and dramas. Let's just hope that the movie adaptation of "Hearts In Atlantis" starring Anthony Hopkins will be equally as good as the other King adaptations. Rated R for language and graphic horror violence/gore.
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: 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.
