Cujo [Blu-Ray] [Region B] (English audio)

Excellent movie

I have always loved Cujo. It is one of those dead simple yet very effective films that manages to draw you in and keep you in to the end without you even really realising it. Shockingly violent, brutal in delivery and underrated in the main, it deserves a place on the shelf of any 80s terror film lover. All the performances are solid even with a somewhat thin script and the special effects are really good. The make up job on Cujo himself is as amazing as it is disturbing. Some cliches are to be expected but there are enough really effective jump scares and 'OMG!' moments to keep everybody happy. It's not Shawshank or The Shining but it is a rock solid entry in the King Canon.

Cujo was filmed in 1983 on a $5,000,000 budget, and was another film based on a Stephen King book. It's about a St.Bernard called Cujo who is out playing running after rabbits, when the rabbit goes down it's hole, Cujo sticks his head in the hole and begins barking loudly. The barking wakes up the bats that were sleeping in the hole, and Cujo gets bitten on the nose. Donna Trenton is an unhappy housewife who is cheating on her husband Vic, when Vic finds out about her cheating he goes away on a business trip to clear his head. Donna and her son Tad go to the Camber residence to have their car repaired, but when they arrive it appears that nobody's home. Suddenly they are attacked by the now rabid Cujo, and are stuck in their car that won't start.The acting is way above average for a reasonably low budget horror movie, but the main star is Cujo, if the rabid dog hadn't been so convincing then the movie would have been a disaster. Dee Wallace plays Donna, she is excellent and shows a great range of emotions as the terrified mother trying to protect her son. As a huge horror fan, Dee Wallace has been a favourite actress of mine for a long time having starred in The Stepford Wives, The Howling, Critters, Popcorn and The Frightners. 6 year old Danny Pintauro gave a very decent performance as Tad, just after making Cujo he went on to appear for nearly 10 years as Jonathan Bower in Who's The Boss? It was directed by Lewis Teague, the director of Alligator, Cat's Eye, Jewel In The Nile and a guilty pleasure of mine called Navy Seals. He's a very capable director and he really keeps the tension turned all the way up once Cujo attacks, and in lesser hands the film could have become boring.The make up effects on Cujo are brilliant, he becomes more mangy as the movie progresses and really does change from a family pet to a slobbering, disgusting monster. The make up team also did an excellent job on Donna and Tad as well, the longer they're stuck in the hot car the more pasty and dry their skin gets. There's no nudity and suprisingly little gore, but the film is a real edge of the seat type of movie.The region 2 version of the film is a pretty terrible bare bones disc, the region 1 American 25th anniversary edition that i'm reviewing is massively superior. The picture is much better and in the correct aspect ratio, there's an excellent commentary by director Lewis Teague and a very informative documentary with the cast and crew. A little trivia, Cujo means unstoppable force in ancient Indian, Peter Medak was originally set to direct, it was shot in the same town as the excellent 1981 film Dead And Buried, apparently Stephen King was drinking so much at the time he wrote Cujo that he claims he doesn't even remember writing it.The movie is a 3 to 3.5 film for me, but the region 1 25th anniversary edition is so much better than ours that the disc itself is probably 5 stars. so i'll go with 4 stars overall as it's a good package. An absolute must for a fan of King adaptations, and a great film for any fan of suspenseful horror.

This is a Stephen king classic brought to life on filmCujo is a lovely family St Bernard dog until he is bitten by a bat, the now diseased dog becomes a dangerous animal irritated by noise and people, before finding solace after dispatching of his owner at the deserted farm, solace that is until Donna and her young son Tad arrive to drop off their car for repairsWith Cujo trapping both in the now broken down car and preventing Donnas every move to escape, the only way she and Tad will survive their ordeal and escape their small prison is to fight to the death

A great Stephen king movie

I will not talk about the movie much to avoid spoilers. I really want to talk about the Blu Ray release itself.I watched Cujo for the first time just a few days ago. The dog acted superb and so did the child actor. However for some reason, I did feel a little sad for the dog which is a Saint Bernard. Overall the movie is good for It's time, which released back in 1983.This is the first time Cujo has been released in the UK on Blu Ray by Eureka.This Limited Edition comes with two Blu Ray Discs. Disc two is a bonus disc, which is Exclusive to the Limited Edition. Disc one contains the full feature movie and bonus extras. Disc two also has extras.

It has a smooth Matt finish, and comes with a glossy information card. The newly commissioned artwork on the outer casing is beautiful to look at.

It comes with a reversible cover art.Included is a 60 page booklet that includes, behind the scenes, interviews, and promo posters.Limited to 4,000 copies worldwide.RatingMovie 8/10Picture 8/10Sound 8/10Extras 7/10Presentation 10/10REGION BOverall I'm happy with this purchase of Cujo. Eureka have done an excellent job of bringing this to Blu Ray for the first time in the UK.Overall Rating8.5/10

I had basically read this Noval that a friend had lend me and I thought that I really am liking this book and I thought to myself í had not .seen the movie. So I went into town with my mum on Saturday and I went to the DVD and music store and I asked for the movie along with another movie and unfortunately the DVD wasn't in stock. So I went online and I ordered this movie as well as Saloms lot DVD. Thanks so much for the two DVDs.

5 stars for the film 4 stars for the 4K transfer & 5 stars for the packaging. Cujo 4K & Blu Ray comes with a gorgeous slipcover looks great on the shelf! Transfer was decent still could use some work but overall I’m more than satisfied. Dts 5.1 & 2.0 sounded great! Lots of extras lots of interviews & the making of Cujo, however sadly their were no deleted scenes or alternative versions etc. Definitely glad I got it for $40. $35 would have been a more reasonable price. Close enough it’s Christmas . Thanks Amazon & Happy holidays! 🎄 🎅

INHALT: Der freundliche Bernhardiner Cujo wird, bei der Jagd auf ein Kaninchen, von einer Fledermaus gebissen und mit der Tollwut infiziert.Sein Herrchen, bekommt von der Ehefrau eine neue Hebebühne für die Autowerkstatt geschenkt, während der Hund erste Anzeichen von Tollwut zeigt.Vic Trenton erfährt das ihn seine Frau Donna betrügt. Er muss allerdings dringend auf eine Dienstreise. Als der Wagen seiner Frau Probleme macht, fährt sie zusammen mit ihrem fünfjährigen Sohn zur Autowerkstatt. Doch der Werkstattbesitzer ist bereits Tod. Und Cujo greift an…Diese wunderbare Bluraybox, hat die Form eines Buches mit einem vorbildlichen, informativen Bocklet in der Mitte.Bluray 1 enthält den Director‘s CutLaufzeit: ca 93 minBildformat: 1080p/ 178:1 und 1,85:1Sprache: Englisch, DeutschTon: DTS-HD MA 5.1, 2.0 Mono MonoUntertitel: DeutschBonus: AudiokommentarBluray 2 enthält die Deutsche KinofassungLaufzeit: ca 91 min,Bildformat: 1080p / 1,78:1 und 1,85:1Sprache: Englisch, DeutschTon: DTS-HD MA 2.0 MonoUntertitel: DeutschBonusmaterial: Making Of, Trailer, InterviewDer Unterschied zwischen den Fassungen liegt nur in der Darstellung der Affäre von Donna. Die Darstellung ist im Director’s Cut deutlich prüder als in der deutschen Kinofassung.Der Director’s Cut hat eine neue Synchro. Die neuen Synchronstimmen sind leider unsympathischer, das liegt aber wahrscheinlich daran, dass ich die alten Stimmen gewohnt war.Der FSK-Aufkleber lässt sich leicht entfernen. Dann sieht die Box, bzw. das Buch richtig gut aus!

El DVD es normalito, quiero decir que con la calidad estándar de estos DVD. Por otro lado, está la crítica de la propia película en sí misma. En pocas palabras, en mi humilde opinión la película es un clásico de culto; una obra maestra del cine que adapta muy bien una de las mejores historias de terror escritas por Stephen King, un autor muy conocido al que no le hace falta ninguna presentación. La película es de los ochenta y se nota esa factura, porque hoy en día poca gente sabría quiénes son los actores y las actrices que aparecen, pero no ha perdido ni un ápice de su horror intrínseco, de su capacidad para generar tensión, de su habilidad para sentir el miedo el miedo de los protagonistas. No es para verla a solas, de noche y con tormenta afuera... Si la gente de Hollywood intentara hacer una nueva versión de esta película, dudo que lograsen mejorar lo presente de ninguna manera. Un clásico es un clásico por un motivo. Por otro lado, siento lástima por Cujo y por lo que le pasó al pobre animalito. Me da mucha rabia... ;))) (¿Lo habéis pillado? Lo de "rabia"... je je je...) Perdón por el chiste malo. No dejéis de ver la película, pero eso sí, nunca a solas. Repito, nunca a solas...

Erano anni che aspettavo una buona edizione in bluray visto che il vecchio dvd era pessimo.. Film molto bello e di culto! Fondamentale per chi ama il genere horror!

Quel plaisir de revoir ce petit fleuron du film fantastique des années 80.Si vous n'êtes pas trop fragile du cœur vous pouvez y aller.Ce film réunit à la fois l'angoisse, le stress, l'inquiétude et le doute quant à la fin....L'interprétation de Dee Wallace est exceptionnelle et que dire de celle du Saint Bernard.La réalisation est une pure merveille.Je ne me lasse pas de ce petit chef d'oeuvre sans effets spéciaux.Quant au Blu Ray, alors soyez vigilants !!!N'achetez que le steelbock, que j'ai joins en photo pour ceux qui veulent une version française.Même si cette version est un peu mixée avec une plus récente.Mais les deux versions françaises sont assez proches.Le boitier est superbe....Amateurs de sensations nerveuses, foncez sur ce petit bijou.
