Film Cujo (1983)
Based on a Stephen King novel, Cujo is not as menacing or as frightening as other film adaptations of King’s popular stories. This movie especially cannot compare to the 1976 Carrie.
Cujo, a happy St. Bernard, turns violent after being bitten on the nose by a rabid bat. His slow transformation into a rabid killer sets the stage for the chilling storyline. The tension escalates as Cujo terrorizes Donna Trenton and her son Tad, trapping them inside a car.
The movie unfolds with a series of intense attacks, building suspense. The inevitable showdown between the family and Cujo keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. While the film is gripping, some find its outcome predictable.
With an MPAA rating of R and falling under the genres of Horror and Thriller, Cujo offers a suspenseful and thrilling tale of survival.
