For all its ingenuity, Cujo does lose an awful lot of ground from the fact that rabid St Bernards tend to evoke pity rather than terror.

CUJO suffers from universally unsympathetic characters, and the dog is just not scary enough to maintain any interest. Significantly, the picture also lacks the sly humor that made ALLIGATOR so appealing.
As directed by Lewis Teague, Cujo is by no means a horror classic, but it's suspenseful and scary. The performances are simple and effective, particularly Miss Wallace's. And Danny Pintauro does a good job as the frightened child.
To be blunt, because there was just barely enough material in the source text to pad out the film, the filmmakers also used a lot of the stuff that worked in novel form but came off as stultifying on the screen.
Although well-made, this screen adaptation of Stephen King's Cujo emerges as a dull, uneventful entry in the horror genre. Novel about a mad dog on the rampage occupies a low place in the King canon, which is understandable if the film's stupefying predictability is an accurate reflection of the book.
Although the material is conventionally manipulated to provoke terror by exploiting Cujo as a mad dog--a four-footed Jaws as a shameless matter of fact--moviegoers are likely to feel too appalled at the way a sick animal is systematically neglected.
史蒂芬金小说改编,虽然不如原作小说细腻但也有着非常棒的故事感,看似不交集的狗、修车工和中产一家人的命运线在缓缓展开,逐渐交织,每一件看似不起眼的小事都是后面恶果之因,环环相扣。金小说经典的美国小镇背景,初看毫不相干的几条线,隐隐透射出的不安感都把期待值拉满,最终的绝境让人感觉既荒谬又合理。6分是合理分数,但太对我个人口味了因此10分
Rachel和Joey推荐看的 哈哈哈 惊悚氛围营造的还不错 怪不得Rachel吓成那样~
八十年代极具代表性的动物恐怖片,也是斯蒂芬•金作品改编中他个人相当青睐,口碑非常不错的一部。用一只疯狂嗜血的圣伯纳创造了无路可退的困境,既是故事中抛锚汽车外的狂犬惊魂,也指代唐娜出轨后不安的梦魇纠缠。不得不说,该片最精彩的表演还得当属圣伯纳犬,愤怒暴躁又因狂犬病末期而带着几分死气,顶着脏兮兮的化妆把狂犬演得甚是凶残。
广告中产幸福幻象,衣橱床底除魔咒语,追兔着魔和昼颜外遇的两种野性回归失控,修车场困兽斗……狗的演技力压全场,小孩和兔子表现也不错,没安排俗套英雄救美,史蒂芬金的人情味还原很好
女主太蠢,狗不在视野内就随便出去,狗咬警察的时候不快速带孩子上警车开走。
我擦原来是恐怖片啊,小时候大半夜中央六台播的,简直是童年阴影。本来已经吓尿了,结果好巧不巧第二天就在家门口被狗咬了,本来家里一直养狗一点不怕,被咬后有严重心理创伤,十几年过去了在外面碰到狗还是会绕着走,有狗从身边经过腿都发软打颤,甚至失声吓哭。好生气!
没有亮点可寻。狗的演技相当的清楚明白,只是不明白为什么要铺垫上婚外恋这一奇怪的主线,实在是没办法配合剧本拍上一个半小时的丧尸狗大屠杀吗?平和的看完发现除了小泰德的叫声让我觉得厌烦无比外没有任何感想,一部容易让人忘记的冷门烂片。
圣伯纳这么憨厚的胖狗就算化妆得血糊拉滋也一点不恐怖啊, 就好比杜海涛扮变态杀人狂…
一条演技狗。
1、下车前一定要确认狗在哪里;2、没有手机真不行;3、在确知完全脱险前一定别丢掉枪支武器。
让瑞秋和乔伊在一起的电影
因为friends看得电影 谁都有中邪的时候
禽兽之变诈几何哉?止增笑耳
看了老友记才来看的这部片子,作为一部1983年的老片子,这无疑很不错,但现在是2012年了,所以...lame lame lame
Friends S8E13 Rach和Joey一起看这个电影 超温馨 虽然一直是坚定的R2党 但是看平常嬉笑风流的Joey那样深情的样子真的很感动 我也想拥有一个Joey抱着一起看
其实母亲和小儿子的戏都演得挺好,但圣伯纳一出,我脖子上好不容易竖起来的那点儿汗毛就全顺了,甭管那狗是流脓流血还是乱喷口水。
很久以前看过的
动物恐怖片的留名之作,毕竟以后都拿CUJO形容恶犬
至此,我害怕圣伯纳……
冗长拖沓
