Years since hitting our senses, Cujo still stands as the ultimate man-verses-beast flick. Pitting the legendary Dee Wallace against a rabid canine, nothing’s made man’s best friend as scary as the 1983 classic. Well, that or The Sandlot — All hail the Beast.
The tenth novel from the immortal King, “Cujo” was turned into a film only two years after its 1981 publication from Viking Press. Winning the British Fantasy Awards’ coveted August Derleth trophy, the Warner Bros. release does the novel justice. Then again, that’s for you to chew on like a dog toy.
