Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

the_prince_of_frogs The first time I watched Cujo, I expected just a horror show. Well, I think this movie is a lot more. I will admit that I think Dee Wallace is a Super Star. In Cujo Dee Wallace portrays the most powerful force in the universe = a mother protecting her offspring. She faces down the monster with only the thought to save her child. This part of the plot is powerful enough to carry a horror movie. Interwoven in the movie is another plot of a woman married and with a child who explores an extramarital relationship. And of course this "lover" turns out to be a scoundrel supreme. Christopher Stone gives an outstanding performance as the spurned lover. Dee Wallace makes this movie.

jacobjohntaylor1 Ahhhhhh! This movie it very scary movie. Ahhhhhhh! It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. Do not watch this movie alone. It is scarier then Lake Placid and that is not easy to do. This is a very scary movie AHHHHHH! It is one of the scariest movies of all time. It is does not scary you no movie will. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!. It is a very scary movie. Do not drop your popcorn. You might but try not to. And try not to pooh your pants. If you were scared by movies that are not really that scary like The Silences of the lambs or The Blair witch project or Saw. Then you probably will pooh your pants. Please do not pooh your pants. AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Do not eat prunes when you watch this movie.

Smoreni Zmaj I didn't read the original story by King, so I can not judge on how faithful adaptation is, but movie alone is barely watchable. It is not complete crap, but it is not much above it either. Technically this movie is mediocre. Level of entertainment... well, I had to force myself to stick to it till the end. But I must admit that has some really scary parts. Most of it is boring and redundant, but few scenes really made me shiver. If they could make whole thing at least half that intense it could have been really good horror/drama. But this way it does not deserve more than 4, being average of 7 for scary parts and 2 for every other aspect of the movie.4/10!!! SPOILER ALERT !!! - specific objections to the story:First half an hour show us family relations in house of the victims and wife's love affair that has no influence to main course of the story. It is like they put it in film only to pull on enough material for 90 minutes movie. That part is painfully boring. - Wife and kid are stuck in a car for 48 hours and nobody noticed they're missing. Is it possible/probable that they have no family, friends, neighbors or anyone else they have everyday communication with and who would notice they're missing... - They are in courtyard of local mechanic, just 7 miles from their home. Is it possible/probable that no one knows where they're gone, no one stopped by to fix their car or came across for any other reason for whole two days and nights... - Cop that finally starts searching for them soon comes across their car all battered and covered in blood. logical sequence of procedures would be to park police car close to victims, use police radio to call backup and tell what he saw, then pull out his gun and carefully get out of the car and go to take a look into victims car. In that case victim would tell him what is happening and he would have two options. Either to carefully look for the beast and kill it or to get victims into police car and get a hell out of there while calling the competent service to solve the issue. Instead he parks far away from bloody car, does not call for backup or at least to say where he is and what he found, gets out of the car unarmed and nonchalantly strolls across the yard. Of course, beast lurks and grabs him by surprise. and when he finally decides to use his gun he is too freaked and clumsy so he drops his gun on the ground and he gets killed. Cops may be believed to be stupid, but this kind of carelessness is in contrary with basic instincts of self- preservation. - At the end, when mother finally succeeds to defend her child by sticking broken baseball bat into beast, she takes gun from the ground and gets into house without even checking if the beast is really dead. Those bolder would probably approach the beast to check if it's still alive, but everyone would at least empty whole magazine into it just in case. She did neither and of course, she gets attacked from behind once again. Completely retarded.There is more smaller illogicalities and nonsense, but what I listed above should be enough to justify my 4/10. For a moments scary, but mostly dull and poorly told life drama. Without those few emotionally strong moments this movie would barely deserve 2/10.

Davis P Cujo is just a great horror film, plain and simple, it just is. Now I haven't seen all of Stephen King's work, although I have seen his classics like misery and the Shining. I actually thought that cujo was better than the shining, but not quite as good as something like misery. The story is just very well told through film, I cannot recommend the book because I have not read it, but I can recommend this movie for horror or thriller lovers. Also the acting is done really well especially by Dee Wallace! Dee really pulled off a great performance here. And she delivers one of the best lines I've ever heard in a film: f**k you dog! Cujo definitely knows what will scare and it uses that. Also I think the run time and the pacing of the movie is spot on. I believe it's about an hour and 32 minutes, which is just right for this movie because really it doesn't need to be long if this movie specifically was overly long, then you would bore and lose the audience. And I think they did a good job at making the dog look borderline demonic and just downright evil. So all in all I think this was a great book to film Stephen King adaptation that I recommend to horror and thriller movie fans. 8/10 for Cujo!
