Cuckoo

Cuckoo is the latest film from the production company NEON, who, after their knockout marketing campaign with Longlegs, are fast approaching A24 as the darlings of weird, smart and inventive horror. 

Reluctantly, 17-year-old Gretchen (Euphoria’s Hunter Schafer, who makes the character an instant entry into the canon of great final girls) leaves her American home to live with her father, who has just moved into a resort in the German Alps with his new family. Arriving at their future residence, they are greeted by Mr. König (Dan Stevens on excellent scenery-devouring form), her father's boss, who takes an inexplicable interest in Gretchen's mute half-sister Alma. But something doesn't seem right in this tranquil vacation paradise. Gretchen is plagued by strange noises and bloody visions until she discovers a shocking secret that also concerns her own family. 

Following his festival sensation LUZ, German director Tilman Singer has once again succeeded in creating an atmospheric and visually outstanding horror trip, stylishly shot on 35mm.
