“Teague wrings out a surprising amount of suspense”
– Almar Haflidason / BBC 6.12.2000
“Claustrophobic, suspenseful chiller — Great makeup effects”
– Chas. Balun / The Deep Red Horror Handbook (1989)
“Genuinely frightening — Builds slowly but surely to terrifying (but not gory) climax. Not for children.”
– Leonard Maltin / Leonard Maltin’s Movie & Video Guide 2002
“Keeps viewers on the edge of their seats”
– Mick Martin & Marsha Porter / Video Movie Guide 1990
“Not since the Baskervilles has there been a hound as horrible as Cujo — Based on a novel by Stephen King, Cujo tells of a lovable St. Bernard who, after being bitten by a rabid bat, becomes a good deal less lovable. —
It’s suspenseful and scary. The performances are simple and effective, particularly Miss [Dee] Wallace’s. And Danny Pintauro does a good job as the frightened child. —
Be warned: if you find yourself too caught up in Cujo, you’ll have a hard time looking your own pooch in the eye.”
– Janet Maslin / The New York Times 13.8.1983
