Just a few hours ago, Eureka
Entertainment announced that they would be releasing a new limited
edition blu-ray of Stephen King’s beloved evil canine classic Cujo
exclusively in the UK. Sadly, this is a region B locked release; but,
if you can find your way around that barrier, there are a healthy
dose of supplements included and an enticing 60-page collector’s
booklet featuring writings on the film and archival images from the
film’s production, and a fancy hardbound slipcase featuring
new artwork by British illustrator Graham Humphreys.
Bonus features include:
- New exclusive
feature-length audio commentary by Lee Gamblin, author of Nope,
Nothing Wrong Here: The Making of Cujo
- New interview
with Dee Wallace (40 minutes)

-Dog Days: The
Making of Cujo archival documentary on the film’s production
(42 minutes)
-A second disc
exclusive to the Limited Edition release that includes a
feature-length Q&A with Dee Wallace from Cinemaniacs &
Monster Fest 2015, moderated by Lee Gamblin (96 minutes), and a new
interview with critic and author Kim Newman (25 minutes)
It seems like Eureka has had a heck of
a time assembling a proper release for the demon dog’s big picture;
and having not seen the film before, I’m more than excited to get
my first taste of Stephen King’s renowned horror classic through a
fresh new lens.
