Summary: You'll never look at dogs the same again.
Review: ...Featuring a rabid St. Benard who turns into a vicious killing machine who traps a wife and child in a broken down car in the middle of nowhere, Cujo takes suspense to a whole new level.

Sure, the first half of the film is pretty paint by numbers stuff that features no horror and gore whasoever, but that was so you can get acquainted with the characters.... Cujo is technically an innocent victim of an evil disease, you can see that King didn't want this to be the typical "evil dog vs. caring owners" storyline... but basically ir comes down to a dog named Cujo getting bitten by a rabid bat. He then goes on a killing spree. Tad Trenton and his mom go to a farm to get their car fixed. Too bad when they get there, the people who were supposed to fix the car get killed by the dog. Then, the car breaks down, and all hell breaks loose.

The problems with the movie are few, but deadlier than the vicious streak of Cujo. The movie is too boring early on, and the ending sucks a big one. Plus, the DVD features no extras whatsoever, just improved sound quality and scene selection. The visuals are the same as they were in the 80's, so dont expect anything too great.

This is not a revolutionary film by any means, but Cujo delivers what King wanted it to: a tale of evil vs. good, but with shades of gray. And Cujo just looks too cool to be ignored for long. I reccommend seeing this movie without a doubt. It is one of my favorite horror movies of all time.

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: 5 stars
Summary: Cujo Vs. Ren
Review: I remember when i saw this movie. The great parts were when Cujo went crazy. I even liked the part where he tride to break into to kill a mother & her son & the part when he hered a phone ring. He also killed a man who brought in his groceries & I think his own human. In the end of the movie the mother shot Cujo. Me & My brother talk about cujo alot & think he can beat any other dog.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great King movie
Review: Cujo is one of those great Stephen King movies. The book translates well into film (sure, the ending is different, but while the one ending is right for the book, this ending is right for the film). The acting is superb. The writing is great and believable. The direction and cinematography is great. Dee Wallace is wonderful as is Danny Pintauro (who played Tad), but the true star were the five St. Bernards, the one mechanical head the the guy in the suit that played Cujo. A lot of King's books have trouble making it to film. Cujo isn't one of those.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Friggin' GOOD dog flick!!!!!
Review: Cujo is one of the friggin' best dog movies! who wouldn't live a movie with violence, horror, and a not-so adorable saint bernard?
This movie is basically about a friggin' psycho dog that hates everybody. this movie reminded me about the friggin' psycho dog I came across when i was trick or treating this year. you gotta love this movie, even the kids'll love it. F.Y.I.:I also reccomend Christine in additoin to this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A killer Kanine movie
Review: Cujo was a great "horror" movie that seems to never lose its touch, much like other 80's horror films. It starts of as Cujo, the furry, lovable St. Bernard chases a rabbit down a hole and then there he gets bit by a rabid bat. But from then on, you just want to fast foward it to the good parts where Cujo starts killin', much like the book went when you might've scanned it, looking for the best parts. The movie wasn't lame, just a little moving as if you actually feel pity for that killer dog. And the DVD features no trailer. Of course when it was out on the big screens, no one wanted to think that Cujo was a dog. Its a great movie, serously. Just check it out and see for yourself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic
Review: I cannot express how much this movie kicked so much booty. I love dogs, and when one goes evil? How is that not entertaining? Only thing I didn't like was that in the book, Tad died, and didn't in this movie. Just because Tad dying was kind of the moral of this story. Stephen King is phenomenol, and I'd wonder what he'd have to say about how the movie makers did this.
