Cujo - 1/5
This movie is so simple it’s uninteresting. Much of the ‘horror’ could have been avoided if the characters had possessed a basic level of competency. It’s not so much tense as it is infuriating to see multiple obvious ways every scenario could be avoided, which undercuts the entire point of the movie.
Closest comparison: It’s like Crawl by way of Phone Booth, both of which are much better than this.
Setting: Rural Drama
Plot: Creature Thriller
Tone: Rural Horror
