In rural Maine (really, in a Stephen King story wow!), Vic and Donna Trenton struggle to repair their crumbling marriage, while their young son Tad befriends a hulking, lovable, 200-pound St. Bernard named Cujo. With Vic away on business, Donna and Tad take their decrepit car to be fixed at the remote farm of their mechanic. As their aging Pinto sputters to a stop and dies, Cujo appears. But the once docile dog has undergone a hideous transformation (when did that happen, and why?), and becomes a slavering, demonic, implacable killer possessed by almost supernatural strength... and unholy cunning.

This story has more holes than a Swiss cheese, we learn from the beginning that the dog has been bitten by bats, maybe I'm being picky here but when did that provoke symptoms of unbelievable strength and smarts. When it comes to movies, Stephen King's name on the cover almost always means total stinker.
