Cujo, a review by Rich

Cujo



In a bizarre case of nature versus humanity, a Saint Bernard infected with rabies by a diseased bat attacks a mother and her son. When the family becomes trapped in their car, they must depend on their wits to defeat the crazed canine.
Based on Stephen King's novel about a new England family beset by a murderous terror: the family dog.

Low budget adaptation, never quite reaching the tension/horror achieved in the original novel. The whole movie felt very dated, although the acting was fairly solid. Unfortunately a lot of what King writes can never be transposed on film, such as this case where you do not benefit with what the dog was thinking. In addition when a dogs tail is wagging furiously it is because they are happy, so when it is doing that whilst supposedly in a murderous rabid killing rage it spoils the effect.
A poor ending, and a dog you only felt sympathy for and not fear, makes this a miss.

I have always liked a good true story. And this one is a very good one. I enjoyed every minute of it.The story easily kept my attention through-out... the cast did a great job.... sure I have seen movies that I have enjoyed more but I have no complaints about this one. It is well worth the time put in to watch it. Highly recommended.

Miracles Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

6. The Hand of God
Paul comes under investigation by the police after a woman is found murdered in her home, leaving behind her diary where she had sketched his name and image, along with the words "God is nowhere".

Guest Stars:
Blake Bashoff
John Thaddeus
Pat Skipper
Robert Clotworthy

My Thoughts:
This is the final episode to air on ABC in it's original run. Thankfully they gave us the entire 13 episodes on this DVD collection. This episode is an interesting one as it continues with the series long storyline. But it did seem a little slow to me. This episode completes the second disc in the set.

My Rating:
