Summary

A friendly St. Bernard named Cujo is bitten by a rabid bat and slowly turns vicious. When a mother and her young son drive their broken-down Pinto to a remote farmhouse for repairs, they find themselves trapped inside the sweltering car as the now-monstrous dog stalks them, turning a simple errand into a desperate fight for survival.

Released in 1983, Cujo is a horror and thriller film.

3,140 other films from the 1980s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 1,583 of whom clear the calibration test.
