A St. Bernard dog is bitten by a rabid bat and becomes a vicious killer.
The original Stephen King book may have generated scares through the imagination of the reader, as may have this film when it was originally released back in 1983. By today's standards, it just looks like a dog covered in lots of ketchup. Put it down, immediately.
