Reviews for Cujo
As thrilling and scary as Cujo can be, it's dreadful for long stretches.
Directed by Lewis Teague with less cinematographic flair than even the TV miniseries for 'Salem's Lot, Cujo unfortunately demonstrates the difficulty in adapting King's shorter works.
...there's no denying that the sequences dealing with Cujo's assault on Wallace's cheap Pinto are extremely effective...
