  Cujo is rubbish
  
  Don't bother wasting a rental with this movie. It's long boring and not entertaining in any way or form.

  What is wrong with that dog?
  
  No doubt one of Stephen King's work. I can't possibly imagine the reality of a dog terrorizing everyone only because its rabid. I fear something more ... read more »

  Not the worst adaptation but hardly scary
  
  The trouble with the King books is that they are too big to film entirely and contain a lot of padding, the trick is knowing what to film and what to leave out ... read more »

  A waste of a DVD rental.
  
  This is a very poor offering - unless you have a thing for St Bernards - and not a patch on other Stephen King films: one to be avoided at all costs.
