Vic and Donna Trenton struggle to repair their crumbling marriage. Their young son, Tad, befriends a hulking, lovable, 200-pound St. Bernard named Cujo. With Vic away on business, Donna and Tad take their rundown car to be fixed at the remote farm of their mechanic. As their Pinto dies, Cujo appears. But the once docile dog has undergone a hideous transformation, and becomes a slavering, demonic, implacable killer possessed by almost supernatural strength, not to mention cunning.

Comment
Add a CommentThe most disappointing adaptation of a Stephen King Novel. Read the book it is a million times better.
As the Sharp Cereal Professor says, "Nope, nothing wrong here."
This classic is proof that there is no need to resort to vampires, zombies, or any other type of monsters to make a great horror film. All you have to do is look out into your backyard!
