🐾 “HE WAS A GOOD DOG… UNTIL HE WASN’T.”

Cujo returns in 2025 with a chilling reimagining of Stephen King’s terrifying 1981 novel, bringing a new level of psychological and visceral horror to modern audiences. Set in a sleepy rural town, this reboot isn’t just about a rabid dog—it’s about fear, isolation, and the breakdown of trust between man and nature.

🩸 PLOT SYNOPSIS

What begins as a typical summer in Castle Rock quickly unravels into a nightmare. When a massive St. Bernard named Cujo is bitten by a rabid bat, his descent into madness unleashes a deadly chain of events. Rebecca Hall plays Donna Trenton, a mother trying to hold her fractured family together while hiding her own secrets. Alongside her son Tad (played by Finn Wolfhard), she finds herself trapped in their broken-down car under the relentless sun—while Cujo circles, patient and deadly.

Meanwhile, Wyatt Russell plays a local mechanic whose past intertwines with the dog’s tragic origin and becomes a key to understanding the horror unfolding.

🧠 WHY THIS VERSION STANDS OUT

• Focuses more on psychological tension and claustrophobic dread than gory violence

• Cujo’s transformation is depicted with hyper-realistic CGI and practical effects

• A haunting new score by Joseph Bishara (The Conjuring)

• Strong character-driven drama combined with the brutal instincts of nature gone rogue

🔥 TAGLINES

• “Terror has four legs and no mercy.”

• “You can lock the doors. You can turn off the lights. But you can’t stop Cujo.”

• “He’s not your best friend anymore.”
