5/30/2023 0 Comments Cujo book covers-Lewis Teague being brought in to take over as director along with cinematographer Jan de Bont.-the film's problematic early days with originally assigned director Peter Medak being fired.It also thoroughly scrutinizes fear-both real and imagined-in a sharp and magnetic manner. With its sophistication and deep subversive intelligence, Cujo is a biting critique on the breakdown of the American family, an electric take on the "woman in the storm" story trope, a personal and introspective ecologically themed horror film (a subgenre usually socially and politically motivated), and a perfectly realised example of the power of circumstance. Drawn from interviews with Teague, screenwriter Barbara Turner, and cast and crew, including Dee Wallace, Daniel Hugh Kelly, Danny Pintauro, Jan de Bont, Jennifer Jason Leigh, composer Charles Bernstein, and stunt man Gary Morgan. Lee Gambin analyzes the film scene by scene, including exhaustive coverage of the production from its problematic early days with originally-assigned director Peter Medak to the final edit by ultimate director Lewis Teague. Based on Stephen King's psychological thriller about a rabid dog, the terror story remains forever etched into the minds of filmgoers, as well as in the grip marks on many theater seats. No American horror film did more to spike cat adoptions than Cujo (1983). 5/30/2023 0 Comments The full spectrum david levithanFor a list of the basic definitions for the terms included in LGBTQIA, check out some comprehensive blog entries and support websites: here and here.
