Cujo Limited Two-Disc Edition (Eureka Classics) --- April 29th 2019

[dallywhitty]

Evil bites when a monstrous canine terrorises a helpless family in this legendary cult classic. Based on Stephen King's best-selling novel, Cujo gives horror a new name. While Donna (Dee Wallace, The Howling, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial) and Vic Trenton struggle to save their rocky marriage, their son Tad befriends the loveable St. Bernard who belongs to their mechanic. But what they don t realise is that a bat bite has transformed Cujo from a docile pup to a vicious killer. With Vic away on business, Donna and Tad's car trouble pushes them into a living nightmare trapped by the demonic, relentless dog from hell. This critically acclaimed thriller promises to have you glued to your seat and foaming at the mouth!

Cool, a must buy!

Mind, I was disappointed the film didn't cover the posties' farting habits as much as the book did

[TheProf89]

This is one I have to grab. I read the book a lot as a kid. Actually I would always read this one and Dead Zone together.

The Stephen King novel he was so drunk at the time, he forgot he wrote it

All his best material was written before he was sober

Pre-ordered! I’ll keep my old Lionsgate blu for Lewis Teague’s commentary track.

[Hawkmonger]

It is the movies 35th so i'm not surprised, but any Eureka release makes it that much more essential.

[McCrutchy]

Interesting that Eureka! is giving this such a lavish edition. I guess it's down to just how many new interviews they were able to get (possibly a record at nine, or ten if you include the audio commentary) and then the lengthy archival extras, coupled with the Stephen King name.

I suppose this is yet another film/book King doesn't want to talk about, but it is a bit strange that there is no involvement from Lewis Teague, or that Eureka! couldn't license his commentary from Olive.

Also, I'm looking: forward to the new Dee Wallace interview.

I'm guessing the bonus disc may just be a DVD, as they did with A Touch of Zen, since it's just documentary/interview footage. Makes sense to do that, as it means they can keep the reissue just 1-disc Blu-ray (probably with no booklet too).

Anyway, cool they're giving us a Stephen King title! And this is from the Paramount library which is exciting too...

[Dickieduvet]

Haha! Well, coked up rather than drunk. It had the same effect on David Bowie.

[BarnDoor]

If it's with Paramount over here, hopefully Eureka also have their eye on Monster Squad, another title which would no doubt do very well for them.

Just realised it says "special Limited Two-Disc Blu-ray Edition" which implies the bonus disc will be a Blu-ray too (probably BD-25, but still). So perhaps I was wrong!

[Agent Kay]

That's a lovely cover

[Bullitt]

It looks a nice set.I always enjoyed the film,thats why I imported the U.S. Blu years ago,don't think I'll double dip.

Glad its finally getting a release here though.

[professorwho]

Now that is a nice set! I’ll probably end up picking it up.

[stigdu]

I think this is one of the most under-rated King film adaptations. It's superbly acted by Dee Wallace and the young kid, the scenes with the St. Bernard are great (they must have had an amazing animal trainer on set) and the final 1/2 hour (do I need to spoiler this?) in the car is terrifically tense.

An absolute day one purchase, for sure.

[The Beast Within]

Rewatched this for the first time in about 20 years at Halloween and was surprised with how great it was. Very stylishly directed (some fantastic camera work throughout) and given that they were working with a real dog, there's a proper sense of aggression to the action. I still feel the ending is a tad weak but it didn't annoy me the way it did when I was younger. I think it has aged better than some of the other, lesser celebrated King adaptations.
