Directed by Lewis Teague (CUJO, ALLIGATOR) and with a screenplay by Stephen King, this benchmark anthology horror is comprised of three tales, two of which are adapted from King’s own NIGHT SHIFT collection and a third written directly for the screen.

In ‘Quitters Inc.’, a New York family man (James Woods) is encouraged to give up cigarettes with the help of a shady self-help operation, who outline a litany of increasingly severe penalties for his loved ones if he cannot resist temptation.

‘The Ledge’ features a casino owner (Kenneth McMillan) who kidnaps and forces Johnny Norris (Robert Hays) into a dangerous wager for having an affair with his wife. If he can traverse the exterior ledge of the mobster’s penthouse then he can leave safely. But if Norris refuses then grave consequences await.

Finally, a young girl (Drew Barrymore) has difficulty sleeping. Though her parents suspect the new family cat of wrongdoing, the girl knows better after she sees a horrifying troll emerging from her bedroom wall.

CAT’S EYE on Home Entertainment from July 13

On September 2, Shock Entertainment will un-leash CUJO to Blu-ray, exclusive to JB Hi-Fi.
What’s more the first press will include an embossed Slipcover!

Shock’s release will also include the archival three-part documentary DOG DAYS: THE MAKING OF CUJO.

In this tale of a killer canine, man’s best friend turns into his worst enemy. When sweet St. Bernard Cujo is bitten by a bat, he starts behaving oddly and becomes very aggressive. As Cujo morphs into a dangerous beast, he goes on a rampage in a small town. Stay-at-home mom Donna (Dee Wallace, THE HOWLING) gets caught in Cujo’s crosshairs on a fateful errand with her son, Tad (Danny Pintauro, WHO’S THE BOSS). Stuck in their tiny car, Donna and Tad have a frightening showdown with the crazed animal.

Based on the best-selling novel by Stephen King and directed by Lewis Teague (ALLIGATOR), this will mark the first-time that CUJO has been released on Blu-ray locally!

Pre-order CUJO now via JB Hi-Fi.
