    Donna Trenton is a frustrated suburban housewife whose life is a turmoil after her husband learns about her having an affair. Brett Camber is a young boy whose only companion is a Saint-Bernard named "Cujo", who in turn is bitten by a rabid bat. Whilst Vic, Donna's husband is away on business, and thinking over his marital troubles, Donna and her 5-year-old son Tad take her Pinto to Brett Cambers' dad's car shop… the car fails, and "Cujo" is very, very sick…

    IMDB

    This widely reviled adaptation of Stephen King's best-selling novel about a viciously rabid dog actually looks better with age. True, story lines move in and out of the first half of the film, inconsistencies abound, and the viewer may be just about to give up hope when Donna (Dee Wallace) and her young son, Tad (Danny Pintauro), pull into a junkyard in a broken-down car. From that point on, the film becomes a sort of landlocked Jaws, as mother and son are trapped in the stalled machine by the bloody, slobbering hellhound waiting just outside. The final 40 minutes are surprisingly scary, as director Lewis Teague builds the tension to a fever-pitch with a combination of stunning attack sequences and effective hysterical-mother moments inside the car. Wallace is outstanding in one of her better performances, but cinematographer Jan De Bont (who later directed The Haunting and Twister) is the real star of the show and rarely falters. Neil Travis' editing deserves special praise for enhancing the horror of the dog attacks, but the music (by Charles Bernstein) is awful. Still, if one can patiently withstand the dumb first half, there are plenty of thrills, chills, and a great jump-scene later in the film.

    Cujo (1983)

    We all know Cujo is a giant St. Bernard that has to kill because he is rabid. The film works as a horror film because of that concept, but this film and the story writer behind it believe that paybacks are a bitch. Retribution is always around the corner and when it is your time, you don't know if it is going to from a guy in a hockey mask, a massive great white shark,a 58 red and white Plymouth Fury, some idiot with long finger knives or a lovable Saint Bernard. Whatever it is though, sin always accounted for. Cujo subscribes to that theory.

    Everyone that dies in this film, with the exception of maybe one, does so because they are not very likable people to begin with. They are all tainted and when Cujo gets a hold of them, we are almost glad that he wants their blood. But it is the climax of the film that is the most intriguing. Because here we have a woman who has gotten rid of her sin. But she now has to face the music not for what she is doing, but for what she has done. And if you read the book, you will see that it sticks to that theory and message much more than the film does. It is understood that Cujo has to have a happy Hollywood ending, and that is fine, but the book tells a much more clear yet paradoxically convoluted tale of a boy, his dog, and how sin is never really forgiven.

    What is also great about Cujo is how it shows the dog coming unravelled. We see the transformation from lovable suck of a family dog, to vicious killing machine that has an insatiable need for blood. We see his nose get more wet, we see how certain noises bother him more and we see how much saliva this dog has stored up in his nasty mouth.

    Cujo is a good movie. It is scary, especially the last half hour and it actually has a point. It also does a fairly good job of bringing King's vision to life. It is not easy to do that, after all King has a very vivid imagination. But Cujo comes close. Very close

    Cujo (1983)

    Many Stephen King novels that are adapted to film suffer from the lack of artistic passion needed to capture the author's essence and intent. While writing "Cujo" in 1981, King himself noted that the novel would make a perfect film. A simple setting on a farm, with a car, a mother, a son, a dog. The idea to write "Cujo" came from an experience King had when he met up with a huge St. Bernard while riding around Maine on his motorcycle. The owner told him that the dog wouldn't bite but when King reached out to pet it, the dog growled at him. At that moment, "Cujo" was born. The 1983 film version of "Cujo" doesn't dress itself up to be anything more than what the novel intended. We are given a simple scenario, there within lies the devastating impact.

    Cujo (1983)

    The attacks from Cujo are instant and appalling. Cujo rams his massive skull into the tiny car, crushing the thin, warn metal and terrifying Donna and especially Tad, who had already been suffering from nightmares about monsters that live under his bed and in his closet. The monster with sharp teeth that had frightened him so much has become a reality. The setup is certain, the outcome is not. With the Camber family missing, a husband out of town and a piece of shit Pinto that will not move, Donna must find an escape for her and her young son. The days of summer are hot and the car is broiling. How can she get herself and Tad away from a huge dog that would easy rip the two of them to shreds? Can she do it? It's a situation that is not terribly unbelievable but unbelievably terrible.
