It’s hard to imagine that in 1983, "Cujo" was once the most famous dog's name. It was the release of this thriller of the same name that made "Cujo" well-deserved on the list of most popular dogs. The place topped the list, and this drooling and lethal St. Bernard dog has also become a symbol of terror.
The film inherited this characteristic of John Swithen , not dedicated to showing bloody scenes, but spent a lot of time exploring the character of the characters, and creating a kind of tense suspense and extreme anxiety in a small space. In this seemingly five-minute story-the climax is in the last 30 minutes of the film, where the horror reaches its culmination: the mother and her frightened son are besieged by the furious and salivating mad dog Gu Zhuo In a car that could not be started due to a malfunction—in this enclosed space, director Lewis Tige succeeded in creating a large amount of visual suspense and stunned the audience’s appetite: when Donna was trapped in a car under the scorching sun, and When the killer dog mad from rabies was hidden not far away, the successful integration of psychological factors added a fascinating factor to the film and made this scene a classic. And Jan de Bont (Jan de Bont) is an excellent demonstration of the excellent photography terror enclosed space, in a small car camera 360 degree rotation to successfully convey the urgency of the near-suffocation. At the same time, the wet jaws and frantic barking of that terrifying giant dog looked like a real threat.
The film shared 5 St. Bernard dogs playing the role of "Guzhuo". These dogs went through a series of exercises, enduring soiling their bodies, smearing them with mud and dye, until they no longer looked like animals. The dog has completed the task brilliantly. In contrast, the performances of the actors are much inferior, which can only be said to be quite satisfactory. They are indeed trying their best to scream and appear to be frightened by some mysterious thing, in order to achieve the effect of intimidating the audience. Dee Warrens-Stone is a "maternal professional", in the film " Extraterrestre " she also played the role of mother. In this film, Stone vividly shows the anxiety of a mother trying to protect her child, but Daniel Hugh Kelly 's performance is much bleak.
