Horror films are often straight forward with their tone and violence or scares, but some come along that try to get a little more creative or deep in their storytelling. When it works it offers some amazing and often bizarre and terrifying cinema. The latest looking to bring its own voice is Cuckoo starring Hunter Schafer, Dan Stevens, and Jessica Henwick from director Tilman Singer.

Cuckoo follows 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.

 

Step into a world that isn’t what it seems in Cuckoo available now on digital and then on Blu-ray and DVD from NEON.
