Cujo (1983)



Warner Bros.
Directed by Lewis Teague
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Olive Films)

A rabid St. Bernard terrorizes the farmstead of a local mechanic. When a woman and her son arrive to pick up their car, they are trapped by the dog in the car. Unable to get out or call for help, they begin to suffer from dehydration and heat stroke in the summer heat and enclosed vehicle. The police eventually show up looking for them, but the dog takes care of the sheriff deputy. However, the momentary distraction gives the woman an opening for a final confrontation. Another Stephen King animal run amok story, albeit well made, with some impressive dog make-up effects.
