"Cujo" is the one horror flick I've seen that did nothing for me. No scares, jumps, logic, or suspense. The whole film feels slow and repetitive. The story is illogical, the "suspense" music cheesy, and the acting atrocious in many areas. Although Dee Wallace was just fine in "E.T.", I don't think she's a strong actress in general, especially in this film where her voice is so soft and low. But the kid [Danny Pintauro] is another story! He is like a parent's worst nightmare: a shrill, whining baby! He mostly screams and cries uncontrollably in the last half! After having great children in scary movies like Carol-Anne in "Poltergeist" and Newt in "Aliens", we get a bad one in this film's Tad Trenton. The name itself is sickly sweet and nauseous. This movie really let me down big time as it was not scary in any way.
