Cujo1983
“Now, there's a new name for terror.”
Directed by Lewis Teague
🏆 1 win & 4 nominations total
The premise
A friendly St. Bernard named "Cujo" contracts rabies and conducts a reign of terror on a small American town.
Horror Vault's take
A beloved family dog becomes a massive, terrifying threat after contracting rabies, trapping a mother and her young son in a sweltering car with no escape in sight. Based on Stephen King's novel, Cujo strips horror down to its most primal form — no monsters, no supernatural forces, just nature turning deadly. The film builds unbearable tension through sheer containment, with Dee Wallace delivering a raw, physically demanding performance at its core.
