The most overlooked and under rated Stephen King adaptation there is. Far better than 'The Shining' in my opinion. The acting in this, especially from little Danny Pintauro as Tad, is just superb.

Very dark ending. I wouldn't have minded it though to be honest. It would have seemed more real

I really enjoyed your reaction to this horror classic my friend! Yes, the second half of this film gave you a lot of anxiety. The performances by Dee Wallace and Danny Pintauro as her son Tad were superb! They actually used four St. Bernard dogs, some mechanical ones and another dog dressed as a St. Bernard for Cujo! SPOILER ALERT: Tad dies at the end in the Stephen King novel. But they let him live in the movie because they thought audiences would not be able to handle such a dark tragic ending.
