Based on a Stephen King novel,
Cujo is not as menacing or as frightening as other film adaptations of
King's popular stories and especially cannot compare to the 1976 Carrie.
Cujo is a happy St. Bernard until he is bitten on the nose by a rabid bat
and slowly begins manifesting the symptoms of his fatal illness. His
condition deteriorates as he attacks people again and again, until finally,
mom Donna Trenton (Dee Wallace) and her son Tad (Danny Pintauro) are trapped
inside the family car with Cujo lurking nearby, set to kill them any way he
can. A showdown is inevitable but is as predictable as the rest of the film.
