Cujo Reviews

The raw performances by Danny Pintauro and Dee Wallace are key here, as they effectively embody abject terror and desperation, respectively.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 18, 2023

Director Lewis Teague does what he can in an attempt to maximize tension, but there’s only so much he can do with such a limited setting and such a sparse story.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 8, 2023

A truly absurd film that never found the conductor thread of its story... transporting the facts from the novel wasn't enough. [Full review in Spanish]

| Apr 12, 2023

Generally a sad waste of both actress Dee Wallace... and director Lewis Teague’s talents.

| Aug 1, 2022

Not much of a horror or a dog story.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 23, 2021

...Cujo the dog seems to feed off Castle Rock's bad energy, and there's far more to King's story than just a woman in peril...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 21, 2021

At certain moments, it's as if flawed individuals are met with toothy reprisal in a twisted form of justice - where survival defines worth.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 31, 2020

It's a stripped-down nerve-shredder of a movie that has a bite every bit as potent as its bark.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 15, 2020

The story gets lost in long and dull explanations. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Sep 23, 2019

The movie is as nasty and single-minded as Cujo himself: It's simple, and it works.

| Sep 5, 2019

A claustrophobic horror with plenty of bite.

| Apr 29, 2019

Despite its apparent simplicity, Cujo actually expects more from its audience than the average nature amok thriller and even many of King's more successful stories.

| Oct 4, 2018

"Cujo" no doubt presented fewer difficulties for a novelist than it does for a movie director.

| Oct 4, 2017

'80s horror movie has some gore, lots of peril.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 16, 2016

Wallace's turn will not be denied, and fans of real horror will recognize the greatness in her work here.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 13, 2013

A horror film worthy of its classic status...

| Feb 23, 2013

A dull, uneventful entry in the horror genre.

| Mar 26, 2009

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 6, 2007

As thrilling and scary as Cujo can be, it's dreadful for long stretches.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 1, 2007

Directed by Lewis Teague with less cinematographic flair than even the 온라인카지노추천 miniseries for 'Salem's Lot, Cujo unfortunately demonstrates the difficulty in adapting King's shorter works.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 28, 2007
