Review of Cujo (1983) by Adrian Z — 16 Sep 2014

(57%).

With one of the thinnest plots in film history this still manages to be quite a shocker. Most of the action takes place in a broken down car in the countryside during a really hot day as a big dirty dog tries to kill a kid and his mother. The attacks themselves are really quite brutal and very well done as the main characters really do go through hell and back with this rabid pooch. One of the better animal attack films that has for some reason been more than a little forgotten about. Put this on if your kid wants to watch one of the terrible Beethoven sequels for the 100th time.
