A young woman sat at a white table with a bloodied nose and a bandage around her head looks directly into the camera. She also has a metallic splint on her left arm.

About Cuckoo

Troubled teen Gretchen (Schafer) is forced to relocate to Bavaria with her distant dad and his new family. Wanting only to return to America, she begins work at a resort owned by alarmingly eccentric entrepreneur Herr König (Dan Stevens, priceless). After hearing screams in the dead of night and encountering time-warps, Gretchen suspects this weirdly retro-modern place is catering to much more than the tourist trade.

Throbbing with sinister secrets and clever twists, Cuckoo is a wildly entertaining exercise in unrestrained imagination from Tilman Singer. Schafer is dynamite as the heroine whose stint in this creepy paradise delivers lashings of lurid horror and packs a powerful emotional punch.
