"Why did you bring us here?" "Your family belongs here…" Neon has revealed the incredible full trailer for Cuckoo, a freaky horror film coming this summer. It premiered at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival and also played at SXSW recently. Cuckoo is the second feature from German filmmaker Tilman Singer after Luz. Gretchen travels to the German Alps with her father & stepmother, where she comes across dark secrets. She hears strange noises and is plagued by visions of a woman chasing after her, drawn into a conspiracy involving bizarre experiments by the resort’s owner that echoes back generations… Following his festival hit Luz, Singer has once again succeeded in creating an atmospheric & visually outstanding horror trip with an original plot and perfidious twists. Shot on 35mm, this stars Euphoria's star Hunter Schafer alongside a brilliant and terrifying Dan Stevens. The full cast also includes Jessica Henwick, Marton Csókás, Jan Bluthardt, Greta Fernández, Konrad Singer, Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey, & Proschat Madani. I loved this film (read my review)!! It's a blast. Eerie and weird and fun and clever. Get ready for a damn good time. All 12 Volt

Here's the full official trailer (+ poster) for Tilman Singer's film Cuckoo, direct from Neon's YouTube:

You can rewatch the festival teaser for Tilman Singer's Cuckoo horror right here, for the first look again.

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. Cuckoo is both written and directed by German genre filmmaker Tilman Singer, making their second feature film after directing Luz previously, plus a few other shorts. It's produced by Markus Halberschmidt, Josh Rosenbaum, Maria Tsigka, Ken Kao, and Thor Bradwell. It just premiered at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival (my review). Neon will debut Singer's Cuckoo in select US theaters starting August 9th, 2024 this summer. Who's in?
