Netflix Dares to Ask: What If We Traumatized a Whole New Generation with a ‘Cujo’ Remake?

Buy Me A Coffee

Netflix has decided that what we really need in our lives is another version of Stephen King’s Cujo—because apparently, one rabid dog-induced panic attack just isn’t enough.

Yes, that’s right. King’s 1981 classic horror novel is getting yet another adaptation, proving once and for all that Hollywood will never say no to a remake, reboot, or rabies-fueled nightmare fuel.

Who’s Behind This Canine Chaos?
While Netflix is still keeping the cast and writers under wraps—probably because they don’t want us calling them in the middle of the night, screaming, “WHY??”—we do know that Roy Lee will be producing. (You know, the guy behind It and Barbarian? Yeah, we’re in trouble.)

What’s Cujo About?
For those of you who somehow missed the 1983 film adaptation—or were simply too emotionally fragile to endure it—Cujo is about a once-loveable, 200-pound St. Bernard who has an unfortunate encounter with a rabid bat and goes full psycho mode.

The result? A horrifying game of “stay in the car or get eaten” as a mother and her son get stranded in their deathtrap of a vehicle while Cujo lurks outside, presumably regretting all his life choices.

It’s basically Jaws, but with more fur, more slobber, and a whole lot less swimming.

Another King Adaptation?
This news follows last month’s release of yet another Stephen King adaptation, The Monkey—which is about a murderous monkey toy, because clearly, King is on a personal mission to make sure no species is safe.

That film starred Theo James and was directed by Osgood Perkins, known for his work on Longlegs. And let’s be honest, if The Monkey taught us anything, it’s that Stephen King’s brain should be classified as a national emergency.

So, are we ready to relive Cujo’s slobbery reign of terror? Only time will tell. But in the meantime, maybe just maybe, let’s all give our dogs an extra treat and remind them that we’re on their side.

Just in case. 🐶🔪
