      People in 1983 will have cardiopulmonary resuscitation, really ashamed

      Although I know that this movie was made quite early, it still shocked me in 1983. It’s not that the shot was so good at that time. After all, Stephen’s name is here, but that ordinary Americans of that era were able to master basic CPR and have relevant first aid knowledge. Because even if you look at the comments made by a certain netizen in 2016, Donna, the mother who complained about the child, did not rush the child to the hospital. How ridiculous! How funny! In 2016, many young people...

      Overall not very good, but St. Bernard’s performance is remarkable

      After watching the whole movie, I always feel that it is far-fetched. The first is the extramarital love of the heroine. In addition to adding a heavy atmosphere to the film, the only effect seems to be the stiffness of the husband and wife relationship that caused the husband to fail to repair the car in time, making the heroine get into the next dilemma. This makes people feel that the description in this paragraph is really too long; secondly, his son Ted always feels that there is a plot of...

      Dead woman and dog

      As a 1983 American horror film (older than me?), it should be given a cross-age objective evaluation! It’s better to call her a horror film than a feature film? A total of 93 minutes of film, it took more than 1/3 of the time to pave the way. Is this rhythm really in line with the rhythm of the film’s rabies? The life-and-death struggle between a dog who is dead and a woman who is dead is a life-and-death struggle." He is a curious dog who killed cats. He had to chase hares and caves, but...

      The dogs are doing great! Other than that, there is nothing to watch. The rhythm in the early stage is very slow, and there is no shock in the later stage... Many actions of the heroine are very urgent, for example: when a mad dog bites a policeman, she pushes the door desperately but does not get off from the co-pilot; The gun is not repaired in time; another example is the lover who is ugly and bad-tempered, and he has a handsome husband and children, so what do you want? The mad dog easily...

      In addition to being tall, St. Bernard can't figure out the point of its "stunning" at all. It's too stupid. This woman is also strange, and the derailed object is too obvious to be a pervert. What's so...

      The horror atmosphere renders Samsung, the story is very simple and innovative, and there are too many slots. A dog that was bitten by a bat turned into a cannibal, and it was never full. Even if two people had just eaten, they would still continue to eat the third and fourth. . . The ending is still a stupid plot where the protagonist wins but doesn't completely kill the ghosts who turn around and fight each other again. Stephen King's story can be made into short films, but it's okay to make...

    Behind the scenes gags

    ·In order to make the St. Bernard dog attack the car, the dog trainer puts the dog's favorite toy in the car, and the dog has to "attack" the car in order to get the toy.
    ·The film used 5 St. Bernard dogs, a mechanical dog head, and a set of dog clothes for people to wear.
    ·"Guzhuo" is an old American Indian vocabulary, which means "unstoppable....

    Background creation

    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...
