Cujo really is a classic. The camera angles and the acting by Dee Wallace and her son in the movie, forget his name, are very realistic it's really fantastic. You strive to root for them and worry for their lives. Cujo the dog scared the crap out of me when I first watched this, even the dog had spectacular acting/training hahaha. I recommended this for any "so called horror fan". I'm not a big ho... read more

"7.7 Castle Rockin pikkukaupungissa jaksaa sattua ja tapahtua, kuten myös tässä lempeimmässä koskaan tehdyssä koiraelokuvassa. Ainoa asia mikä tässä tappaa mielenkiintoa ja jännitystä on se valitettava tosiseikka, että päähenkilöt ovat suurimman osan ajastaan jumissa auton sisällä."

my half assed 2018 movie diary (40 movies items)

" This movie is ridiculously disturbing. And weird too. Like the first half is almost soap opera-ish where a picture perfect family with the annoying kid from Who's the Boss act nauseatingly sweet and then..... the wife is a thot having an affair and her husband finds out etc the plot lingers a lot on this and it feels like a Lifetime movie Then a nearby dog gets rabies and shit and starts attacking people and it gets more involving. Basically the action lies in the dog brutally mangling peo"

"Day 9: A boring horror movie Well when I finally got to see Cujo I was expecting it to be a lot more exciting. I just ended up being really annoyed. The subject matter of course it upsetting but I just didn't enjoy the movie as much as I would've liked to."
