Horror Neon’s Cuckoo | Hunter Schafer, Dan Stevens, Jessica Henwick

[Pennywise]

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. Gretchen is plagued by strange noises and bloody visions until she discovers a shocking secret that also concerns her own family.

You had me at Hunter, Dan and Jessica.

 

[Man in the Suit]

Hunter Schafer with a butterfly knife? Oh hell yeah. Neon's marketing team is killing it this year.

 

[emielaen]

Longlegs and now this are giving you all you need with very short teasers. I'm down.

Both from Neon too, so there ya go.

So I saw the new full trailer during Immaculate and Late Night with the Devil without seeing the teaser and my god that sh** scared the F**K out of me.

Got the Cuckoo and Longlegs trailers back to back today.

This looks great. I have no idea what is going on, and that’s a good thing. Also, I feel like Dan Stevens gets creepier with every role he takes on, lol.

 

[Lily Adler]

I'm weirdly getting Next Door/Junji Ito vibes from this...

 

[Closerframe]

I’m getting Martrys and It Follows vibes.

 

[The Shape]

I'm so in. Kind of feel like the trailer showed a little too much about what's going on, but looks great nonetheless.

This was one of the umpteenth horror movie trailers I got before Longlegs and it stood out instantly because of the cast and premise.

Really looking forward to this. Also, has anyone been able to tell who Hunter is kissing in the trailer? Is that Henwick?

It's not Henwick, for reasons that will be made clear when you see it.

It was delightfully creepy. The purpose of the setting was a bit confusing to me at times, but this had some very tense moments that left you guessing just whose trustworthy and who isn't. Hunter Schafer is great, and my goodness, Dan Stevens just commands every scene that he's in.

Nice. Hope to see it this week.

There’s some interesting ideas and themes here, and it almost comes together in the third act, but it never does. Also doesn’t help that not a single character is likable.

 

[Kane52630]

Having characters designed to be likable is irrelevant, but I thought the movie was pretty fun. It really became Island of Lost Souls in the 3rd act with a maniacal Dan Stevens.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

It’s relevant if you want me to care about what’s happening on screen.

 

[Kane52630]

There's not a single likable person in Uncut Gems yet I was so invested to see how Howard gets away with it.

With Cuckoo was watching a grieving teenager who lost her mother not likeable to you? just curious.
