Reviews (1)
The creators managed to bury a fairly successful adaptation of King’s novel, Cujo, by giving it a completely different ending. Like almost always, I suppose. In reality it would hardly turn out so well. But the scenes with the irate St. Bernard are really well filmed and the dog is really terrifying when he attacks the car. Although it is missing the detailed description of Cujo’s mental health and how he gradually loses self-control that is in the book (there is even a faint hint that Cujo is the reincarnation of mass murderer Frank Dodd from one of King’s previous novels, “Dead Zone"), but I admit that this would probably be impossible to film.
