MOVIE REVIEW- CUJO

Cujo (1993)
Director: Lewis Teague
Starring: Dee Wallace, Daniel Hugh-Kelly, Danny Pintauro

This movie is based on one of the many critically acclaimed Stephen King novels by the same name. Cujo is a horror show where you find a friendly St Bernard who gets infected by the Rabies Virus and starts exhibiting aggression and restlessness. The abnormal behaviour worsens as the virus infection intensifies and Cujo becomes a threat to people around. When it comes to Survival movies Stephen King truly knows the knack for creating them with the blend of mystery, horror, and unpredictability.
