Cujo (1983)



Now Honestly I never Truly actually sat down and watched this until recently I have seen bits and pieces of it here and there over the years but never truly the whole thing I personally thought the dog would be bigger but this was pretty much before what we can do in the movies now if. If they were to do a remake of this film now a days they would probably make the dog a fully CG creature to ass more size and monstrosity to it.

Now personally I thought this movie was amazing it truly personified the term "Survival Horror" the Directing was very skillful and there was not very much music but when there was it was perfect, truly spooky and fearful. Also speaking of fearful the acting was brilliant! you can see the true terror in the faces of the mom and son the reactions were beyond impressive and very truthful. This was fear in its truest form it was desperation and horror about a situation that they would probably actually die, that there was no hope left.
During the scenes in the car and the kid was passing out and finding it hard to breath I was wondering did he have Asama or some respiratory problem or was it just heat stroke or something along those lines.

One of the thing that bugged me was when the cop showed up and see the blood on the door handle with that evidence that something was going on he should have then and there drawn his gun . and announced that her was there. like they usually do "This is Officer such and such from the sheriffs department" the sound would have drawn out the dog and he could have shot it right then and there. I mean that is what I probably would have done.
Also the ending to this was really really good but it came really quick.
Anyway it was a excellent and very terrifying movie to say the least.
