new family. Arriving at their future residence, they are greeted by Mr.
König, her father's boss, who takes an inexplicable interest in
Gretchen's mute half-sister Alma. 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.
What the critics are saying:
"Cuckoo is a haunting and intricately crafted film with standout
performances from Schafer and Stevens. A potential award contender,
Cuckoo excels in its exploration of disturbing themes, creating a
memorable and unforgettable cinematic experience."
Linda Marric
HeyUGuys
"Singer demonstrates himself to be a mad scientist of celluloid
sensation, creating a hybridized monster of influences, image, sound and
emotion that one won’t soon forget.
"
Katie Walsh

"Tracking the threats in plain sight is half the fun of “Cuckoo,” an eccentric blend of sci-fi, body horror and cozy Alps noir."
