Cuckoo Trailer Reveals More of Wild Hunter Schafer Horror Movie

A new Cuckoo trailer for the strange and unsettling horror movie starring Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens has arrived.

Reluctantly, 17-year-old Gretchen 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, 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. Strange noises and bloody visions plague Gretchen until she discovers a shocking secret concerning her family.

Cuckoo trailer 2 dials up the unease

Cuckoo comes from German writer and director Tilman Singer. He previously gave us the hypnotic Luz, a short, punchy homage to 80s Euro-horror. You can absolutely see the similarities in Cuckoo.

It stars Hunter Schafer (Euphoria), Dan Stevens (The Guest), Jessica Henwick (Glass Onion), Martin Csokas (The Equalizer), Mila Lieu (Dodger), Greta Fernandez (Elisa & Marcela), and Astrid Berges-Frisbey (I Origins).

The film is executive produced by Neon’s Tom Quinn, Jeff Deutchman, Emily Thomas, and Ryan Friscia. Producers are Markus Halberschmidt, Josh Rosenbaum, Maria Tsigka, Ken Kao, Thor Bradwell, and Ben Rimmer.

It’s looking to be Neon‘s latest horror hit in 2024. This year has already seen the Sydney Sweeney-starring religious horror Immaculate and Oz Perkins’s satanic serial killer thriller Longlegs emerge from the studio.

Neil became a horror fan from just a nightmare-inducing glimpse of the Ghoulies VHS cover and a book on how to draw ghosts. It escalated from there and now that's almost all he writes and talks about.
