Cujo (2025) Terror returns—and this time, it’s not just one dog.

“Cujo (2025) unleashes a horror that proves some beasts are born from more than disease.” 

More than four decades after the original nightmare gripped audiences, Cujo (2025) imagines a terrifying new chapter in the Stephen King universe, where rabid horrors rise again in small-town America. Directed by Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep, The Haunting of Hill House), this imagined sequel blends psychological dread with modern horror thrills.

Set in present-day Castle Rock, the film opens with Dr. Emily Trenton (Mackenzie Davis), a veterinarian researching rare viral mutations in animals. When a series of brutal animal attacks begins near the old Camber farm, Emily suspects a strain of rabies that appears resistant to treatment—and far more aggressive.

Meanwhile, David Trenton (Finn Wolfhard), now in his twenties and still traumatized by his childhood encounter with Cujo, returns to town after years away. When several local dogs vanish and reports of savage creatures surface, David fears that the evil he thought was buried forever is stalking Castle Rock once more.

As the infection spreads beyond dogs to other animals—and possibly humans—the town is plunged into chaos. Emily and David must face not only the monstrous animals but the buried secrets of the Camber farm that hint at something even darker fueling the rage.

Cujo (2025) delivers bloody set pieces, nail-biting suspense, and a chilling new twist on King’s classic tale. It’s not merely a story of a rabid dog—but of a town haunted by the question: can evil truly die, or does it only wait to be reborn?

Because sometimes, monsters don’t stay buried—they evolve.
