Review: Cujo (2025) – First Trailer
The first trailer for Cujo (2025) has finally arrived, and it promises a chilling reimagining of Stephen King’s classic horror story. Directed by James Wan, the film brings a fresh, modern take on the terrifying tale of a rabid St. Bernard that turns a family’s worst nightmare into reality.
From the very first frame, the trailer sets an intense, claustrophobic tone. We see Anna Kendrick as Donna Trenton, a desperate mother trapped in a broken-down car with her young son (played by Jacob Tremblay), while a bloodthirsty Cujo prowls outside. The tension builds as eerie cinematography and heart-pounding music amplify the horror.
Unlike the 1983 adaptation, this version leans heavily into psychological terror, with glimpses of Cujo’s transformation from a loving pet into a relentless monster. The practical effects and CGI blend seamlessly to create a terrifyingly realistic St. Bernard, making Cujo feel more menacing than ever.
Fans of the original will appreciate subtle nods to the classic, while new audiences will find themselves gripped by the raw intensity of the performances. Kendrick’s portrayal of a mother on the edge is particularly compelling, and early buzz suggests she might deliver one of the best horror performances of the year.
With The Conjuring’s James Wan at the helm, Cujo (2025) looks like it could be one of the scariest horror films in recent memory. The trailer alone is enough to send shivers down your spine—this is one remake that horror fans won’t want to miss.
Verdict: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (5/5) – A must-watch for horror lovers!
