That's the hook. It's why Cujo is so frightening -- St. Bernards are supposed to be loveable. And it's why The Omen is so creepy -- little boys aren't supposed to be evil.

...I just never got that movie although the special effects for the time are very impressive.

My brother-in-law group up in Sepastapol and recalls when they were filming the movie. He said they had hundreds of these paper mache crows up on the phone wires and said it looked hokey as hell. At the time he thought there was no way in the world that anyone would ever believe those birds were real.
