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

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (98 movies items)

"Pros: The overall intensity of the film. You will feel every gruelling moment in the movie. Dee Wallace and Danny Pintauro. Cujo The effects work. The music score by Charles Bernstein. Cons: Pet owners will feel very uneasy, watching the movie. As great as the film is, there are better Stephen King adaptation movies."

"26.7. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Cujoa koitin vanhalta VHS:ltä ehkä seiskaluokalla pariin kertaan, eikä vaan napannut. Jälkimmäinen kerta jätti jopa inhon tapaista jälkimakua. Ei mitään hajua, miksi.
