Cujo

• Drama
• Horror

A sun-drenched Maine summer curdles into claustrophobic terror as a devoted family finds their idyllic life besieged by a once-gentle St. Bernard transformed into a horrifying engine of rabies-fueled aggression. The film masterfully crafts a mounting sense of isolation, trapping a mother and son within the stifling confines of a broken-down car under the relentless onslaught of the animal’s escalating frenzy, while a parallel narrative of marital fracture underscores the fragility of domestic stability. Beyond simple animal horror, *Cujo* explores the raw desperation of survival against overwhelming odds and the corrosive power of unchecked fear, culminating in a desperate, primal struggle for life amidst the escalating breakdown of both man and beast.
