Terror Has A New Name… From The Terrifying Novel By Stephen King
Monstrous canine evil stalks a helpless, isolated family in this shock-packed horror-thriller from master Stephen King's best-selling novel! Starring Dee Wallace, Daniel Hugh-Kelly and Ed Lauter, CUJO unleashes the ultimate in nightmarish, unrelenting terror.
In rural Maine, Vic and Donna Trenton struggle to repair their crumbling marriage, while their young son Tad (Danny Pintauro) befriends a hulking, lovable, 200-pound St. Bernard named Cujo. With Vic away on business, Donna and Tad take their decrepit car to be fixed at the remote farm of their mechanic (Lauter). As their aging Pinto sputters to a stop and dies, Cujo appears. But the once docile dog has undergone a hideous transformation - and becomes a slavering, demonic, implacable killer possessed by almost supernatural strength... and unholy cunning. Critically acclaimed, CUJO is a fearsome, spine-chilling tour de force from the most popular name in horror!

Dissapointed - 3 out of 5 (5/30/2002)
Up front, I'm a fan of Stephen King. The problem with the film Cujo is lack of suspense. The story is simple; anyone of us could have written this plot. If you live in the county there often are stories of rabid animals. This one just took a slim occurrence and exaggerated it. Although the story is basic and the acting at best is fair, the directing and editing are good; in fact they save the "B" film. Maybe I've gotten numb to suspense and thrillers. Maybe this was scary at the time it w
