Cujo (1983)

My Rating: 7.5/10

Cujo was probably one of the greatest films that I liked when I was growing up. The creativity that they did in the movie was outstanding. I mean to use a dog as the killer in the film is a way big task to handle when your directing a movie. But Cujo pulled it off! Cujo was directed by Lewis Teague. The man who also directed Cat's Eye. Cujo was also a novel by Stephen King. Cujo is about Donna Trenton who 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.

Most of all the scenes in Cujo were in a car. But it's survival for the Mom and her Son in the car and Cujo wants them both dead. So one of the scenes from Cujo that scared the hell out of me was when the Mom was trying to get out of the car and her son's seatbelt wouldn't come out and she tries to get it and the window is rolled down and Cujo pops through the window in the car and is clawing at the Mother and the Son.

So in the end Cujo is a bloody mess and eventually the Mother and the Son get out of the car and go into a house and Cujo follows them into the house and the Mother shoots Cujo with a police gun and Cujo dies. But you don't see the dog dead, the Mother and Son walk out of the house beaten up and the Father comes along with his car and he goes up to check on the both of them and it rolls to the credits.
Cujo won a couple of awards such as 1 win & 3 nominations, and it also got #58 on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments.
