Synopsis: Evil bites when a monstrous canine terrorizes a helpless family in this legendary cult classic based on the bestseller by supreme shiver-giver Stephen King (Misery, It, Needful Things). Starring Dee Wallace (The Howling, E.T., I’m Dangerous Tonight), Daniel Hugh-Kelly (Nowhere to Hide) and Ed Lauter (The Longest Yard), Cujo unleashes the ultimate in unrelenting terror.
In rural Castle Rock, Maine, Vic and Donna Trenton (Hugh-Kelly and Wallace) struggle to repair their crumbling marriage, while their young son Tad (Danny Pintauro, TV’s Who’s the Boss) befriends a hulking, lovable, 200-pound St. Bernard named Cujo. With Vic away on business, Donna and Tad take their decrepit car to be fixed at the remote farm of their mechanic (Lauter). As their aging Pinto sputters to a stop and dies, Cujo appears. But the once docile dog has undergone a hideous transformation—and becomes a slavering, demonic killer possessed by almost supernatural strength…and unholy cunning.
So get ready for Cujo, an irresistible movie force from the King of Horror, directed by Lewis Teague (Alligator, Cat’s Eye) and shot by Jan de Bont (Die Hard). It will have you glued to your seat…and foaming at the mouth!
