Full of Sadness, Suspense, and Horror!

Here's where I stand on the animal issue; I don't want to see an animal hurt, but I'm not going to allow an animal to sleep in my home. That being said, I felt sorry for Cujo in this movie.
A young family of 3 is having marital problems, because of the woman's affair and because of the man's long working hours. He's not much of a man anyway, if you ask me. What "man" drives a luxury sports car, while his wife drives a "pile of junk", condemned, Pinto. All things considered, that's enough to drive even the most loyal enthusiast into the arms of another man. Did I forget to mention that he's this top level executive, who seems to neglect full financial responsibility? Anyway, although the affair is probably mostly his fault, he becomes bitter and they spend more and more time apart. After Cujo gets bitten by a rabid bat, he embarks on a gradual, but complete change. The residents at the home are either killed by Cujo or gone. On an outing to get the Pinto fixed, mother and son meet Cujo head on. With nobody home and the car not working, it's the very, very fragile mother and son against monstrous, mountainous Cujo in a battle for survival. They don't need any more problems, when Tad, their young son, is so traumatized by the carnage that he starts having seizures. An unsuspecting cop comes out to investigate, under the advice of her husband, believe it or not, and Cujo makes easy work of him. Her son's illness and near death experiences push up the time table for survival, as she has no choice but to become even more desperate and take more chances. This will pay off for them in the end and the end seems to point to the family getting back together again. I won't spoil it.
