Cujo, based on Stephen King’s 1981 novel of the same name, is getting the 4K UHD Blu-ray treatment from Kino Lorber.
When we think of the modern horror landscape, Stephen King’s name is sure to follow. The famous genre author has written so many classic horror stories that were quickly turned into hit films. However, one of his most underrated works, Cujo, also happens to be one of his most underrated films. The 1983 film directed by genre veteran Lewis Teague about a ravenous dog gone wild is the worst nightmare for any canine lover.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Stephen King’s Underrated Gem While King is best known for Pennywise and the It franchise or the haunting history at the Overlook Hotel in The Shining, there’s just something deeply unsettling about the idea of “man’s best friend” turning on us. King, like all his best works, tapped into our worst fears of our dog-loving hearts and effectively proceeded to rip that heart out in a ruthless fashion.
You feel a strong sense of uneasiness watching the film. That’s thanks to Cujo himself who wins you over with his sweet St. Bernard's heart at first before the madness begins, and he bites into it like a fleshless bone. The cast featuring Dee Wallace, Ed Lauter, Daniel Hugh Kelly, and Danny Pintauro also do a great job adding intensely frightening stakes to this horror story.
Cujo on 4K doesn’t have a release date yet, but it’s coming soon. While horror fans wait for King’s next 4K release, you can view the rest of Kino Lorber’s vast catalog of films on their website. A clip from Cujo can also be viewed down below.
