Product Description
Based on the Stephen Kings terrifying novel a lovable St. Bernard becomes rabid and terrorizes a small community. In rural Maine, married couple (Dee Wallace, Daniel Hugh-Kelly) struggle to repair their crumbling marriage, while their young son (Danny Pintauro) befriends the hulking, but lovable St. Bernard owned by the towns mechanic (Ed Lauter). with her husband out of town, she and her son take their decrepit car for repairs at the mechanics remote farmhouse. As the aging Pinto sputters, stops and dies, Cujo appears. The once docile dog has undergone a hideous transformation and has become a demonic, impeccable killer possessed of an almost supernatural strength and unholy cunning. Lewis Teague (CATS EYE) directed this critically acclaimed spine-chilling tour-de-force.

Action packed. Violent and bloody.
Lionsgate has now given us Cujo as it has never been seen on home video. I was blown away by how clear the picture is, and how vibrant the colors are. The old transfer just seemed washed out and faded. I watched this on my PS3, which upscales it to hi-def, and I never dreamed this film could ever look this good. I'm also glad that there was no effort to try to create a surround sound track for this film, since most of it takes place inside a car. You have the choice of watching it in the original mono, or a 2 channel stereo mix. While this is not a film I would choose to show off my surround system, it is very effective for what is happening on screen. Not only do we get treated to a remastered copy of the film, but Cujo also has some really good special features. The 3-part documentary runs about 45 min. total, and is very informative about the way the film was made. Both Dee Wallace and Danny Pintauro take part in the documentary. The director, Lewis Teague, also provides a good commentary track. I only have two minor complaints: 1st, there is no trailer for Cujo and 2nd, with it being the 25th anniversary edition, I would rather have seen the artwork from the original movie poster as the cover. I'm not complaining too much about the artwork since it is a huge improvement over the previous version, I just think the poster with the white picket fence and the word "Cujo" in blood was a great poster.
Bottom line: If you own the original DVD version of Cujo, put it in the doghouse. You will be glad you upgraded to this fantastic version of what I think is one of the best adaptations of Stephen King's work on film.
2013 Blu ray UPDATE:
I just got my new copy of Cujo in the mail, and thought I would add this to my previous DVD review.
Of course, the one thing you want to know; is this worthy of a double dip?? Well, that depends on how much you like this movie. I'll break it down into a list of pros and cons, then you can make your own decision.
PROS
* FINALLY, we get cover art from the original movie poster. This packaging is AWESOME!!! Original artwork is also reflected on the disc itself.
* New commentary from director Lewis Teague. This is a really entertaining track.
* Sound seems to be remastered.
* When I saw the video of the 25th anniv. of Cujo, I thought it couldn't get better. I have to admit that I was wrong. This is the best Cujo has ever looked!!! The HD transfer has obviously been remastered
since the 25th anniv. edition. The picture looks gorgeous!!!!
* On-screen menu also uses original poster artwork.
CONS
* No other extras included other than commentary
* Price is a little high for a bare bones movie.
BOTTOM LINE: In the case of the new 30th anniv. edition of this film, it really comes down to how much you're willing to pay for a new commentary track and some awesome artwork. If you do decide to double dip on this one, I would definitely save the previous 25th anniv. edition. That way you have the complete extra features.
I think the movie is very-well directed. There were 5 St. Bernard dogs used in the making of this movie. They were trained. Some scenes are made with a mechanic (robot) dog and a man in dog suit but the scenes are edited so nicely, you don't even notice that. In my opinion, the movie successfully puts all the elements together and delivers the suspense. When I watched the movie first time years ago, I was amazed how they made the dog act like that. One other criticism is that the movie being boring. I think the movie being boring is a criticism usually comes from young viewers that are used to seeing action all the time. This is basically a simple monster movie and a very believable one at that (I think it is probably the most believable monster movie after Jaws).
I am so glad they made this movie back in 1983 with the techniques they used. If this movie was made today, in the scene where Cujo gets bitten, the cave would be CGI, bats would be CGI, and heck even Cujo would be CGI. Yes, I am sure they would use a CGI dog all the way through the movie. That's why, I get very upset when people criticize old movies. In my opinion, CGI effects destroyed the art of film making and turned it into a computer-video imagery. I am so glad this movie has none of that stupid CGI effects.
As for Blu-ray transfer, I have to say that it is not the best Blu-ray transfer. I think Firestarter Blu-ray is better. Some scenes appear to have been DNRed (Digital Noise Reduction); they have a smooth look but not enough details, and there are some blemishes in certain scenes. My biggest complain is that there are no subtitles. There is no excuse for not having subtitles on a Blu-ray movie today. I think the production company did a lousy job with the product. Yes, there is 2012 feature commentary, and that's the only extra feature. But I would really have loved to see behind-the-scenes documentary, featurettes showing how they trained the dogs, interviews with the cast and crew, maybe additional commentaries by the editor of the movie and special effects coordinator of the movie. Those would be the features I would look for in this movie. But, no, there is none of that. You would have to just settle for 2012 feature commentary.
Overall, I highly recommend Cujo to any horror fan as a movie. Other Stephen King movies that I like and recommend are: Carrie, Christine, Firestarter, Salem's Lot (1974), The Dead Zone, The Shining (1980), Silver Bullet and Misery.

Reviewed in Canada on December 23, 2023
CUJO auf DVD sehen durfte, war unbeschreiblich. Kann sich sicher
gar niemand vorstellen. Aufgrund der vielen enttäuschenden
Bewertungen, die den Zustand der Fassung nicht gerade als günstig
beschrieben, scheute ich eine lange Zeit davor zurück, sie mir
zu kaufen. Jetzt ist es doch passiert- ich dachte mir, es kommt
auf einen Versuch an. Schlechter als auf meiner dreißigjährigen VHS
kann die Quali wohl kaum sein. Jau, und die Qualität ist hier super!
CUJO in dieser Red Edition Reloaded ist ungeschnitten und damit auch
unverstümmelt. Weder die freizügigen Szenen mit Donna und Steve fehlen,
in Küche und Bett, weder die blutigen Attacken der Titelfigur.
Sah den Film gute fünfzig Mal in meinem bisherigen Leben- erstes, freies
Aufatmen. Des weiteren beinhaltet der Film eine ungefähr dreißigsekündige
Szene, die plötzlich im Originalton Englisch zu vernehmen ist. Blöd, aber kein Weltuntergang.
Und mir fiel auf, dass eine einzige kurze Szene( Tennisplatz) neu synchronisiert wurde.
Machte mich zwar stutzig, aber ist kaum ärgerlich.
Außerdem kam es mir so vor, dass diese Szenen zusätzlich in CUJO
mit hinein genommen wurden, da sie mir gänzlich unbekannt erschienen.
Wie dem auch sei- für mein Empfinden ist diese Edition völlig in bester
Ordnung. Und es fehlt nichts. Das ist wohl neben Bild und Tonquali,
die übrigens nur anfänglich leicht hapert, der wichtigste Aspekt überhaupt.
Und zum Film ansich brauche ich nicht mehr viel sagen, außer:
CUJO ist das Monster aus dem Schrank. Aus Tad`s Schrank. Und CUJO ist
leider sehr böse- und damit eine der besten King- Verfilmungen überhaupt.
Wenn nicht gar die beste. Ohne puppenhafte, mit Fell überzogene, mechanische
Atrappen. Sondern mit einem echten Bernhardiner. Aus dessen Augen und Maul
die schreckliche Tollwut trieft. Der personifizierte Tod auf vier Pfoten.
Der vor Schmerz und Wut Türen und Autos attackiert und einrennt. Mit seinem
Kopf- in dem sich das Gehirn langsam zersetzt.
" Joe Camber? Ich fahr`mal raus! "
*****************************************************************************************
Geschichte:
Donna, Vic und deren kleiner Sohn Tad sind von New York
in eine Kleinstadt umgezogen. Eheprobleme des Paares und
schreckliche Visionen des ängstlichen Tad sind an der Tages-
ordnung. Doch der wirkliche Albtraum beginnt in Gestalt eines
Hundes, Cujo, der während seines Jagdfiebers im Schlupfloch einer
Schar Fledermäuse stecken bleibt. Die ihn durch einige Bisse
in die Nase mit Tollwut infizieren.......................
...........................................
**********************************************************************************************
Fazit:
" Monster haben draußen zu bleiben.
Sie haben hier nichts verloren.
Kein Monster darf in Tad`s Schrank- ist zu eng für euch da drin.
Kein Monster darf unter Tad`s Bett- da unten habt ihr keinen Platz.
Und kein Monster darf an Tad`s Fenster- und auch nicht ins Auto.
Sonst müsst ihr sterben...............
niemand darf Tad etwas zuleide tun- das gilt für die ganze Nacht.
Und auch für hier....vielleicht springt das Auto jetzt an... "
Entsetzen, Hoffnung, Glaube.
Schmerz, Angst. Todesangst.
CUJO. Außer Kontrolle.
Grandios gespielt von Mensch und Tier.
FÜNF Sterne! Aus Schweiß und Blut!
