Cujo 1983
It’s a rather childish and clichéd premise that feeds on the majority’s fear of dogs. The causality of the dog’s “delirium” being linked to a bat bite doesn’t justify much, and the film ultimately does little more than contribute to society’s cynophobia. That said, it ticks every box expected from a 1980s thriller and has rightfully earned its status as a classic. I particularly enjoyed the subplots—an affair, and the father’s recurring tendency to forget his child whenever an opportunity arises.

The Substance 2024
Matrix greets Chuck Palahniuk’s Invisible Monsters greets Vanilla Sky… and fails to meet artificially heightened expectations. The performances are decent, but that’s about it. The film drags with repetitive scenes that lack any significant impact on the viewer. Toward the end, elements of the abject are forcefully introduced: teeth being pulled out, nails removed, and breasts emerging from various orifices, among other grotesque visuals. However, none of these moments leave a lasting impression, and the ending is utterly nonsensical. It’s yet another addition to the overcrowded list of 2024’s cinematic disappointments.
