Review of Cujo (1983) by Josh H — 27 Jan 2013
It's a decent horror flick.
Cujo once was a really friendly family dog, who wouldn't hurt a fly... Until, he got bitten by a bat and contracted rabies.
The Trenton family are rather troubled, the father Vic (Daniel Hugh Kelly) works a lot, the mother Donna (Dee Wallace) is having an affair with a friend of the family, and Tad (Danny Pintauro) is a Daddy's boy who is afraid of monsters.
When Donna and Tad go to get their car battery changed, they have a run into Cujo; and from there, it's a race of survival.
It isn't my favourite Stephen King adaptation (that would probably be It or The Shining for the horror genre, for at least those of them that I have seen) but it is better than your average King flick.
It's predictable at times but there are some good scares packed in there.
It isn't amazing but it isn't a bad work of horror by any means.
