Our New Cuckoo

You should write the word Cuckoo in your calendar on the date August 9th right now, because the forthcoming horror movie starring Euphoria's Hunter Schafer and everybody's favorite ex-Downton dandy Dan Stevens is one we should all be excited about. Why? Because the writer-director is named Tilman Singer and he's put out one movie to date -- Luz in 2018, and Luz kicked un holy ass. Here is my review of Luz -- I said that "it digs out a ragged little mark of flesh, the sort of scar you won't forget soon; I felt corrupted." 

Does that not sound like the mark of an excellent horror movie to you? (Our friends at Altered Innocence, always on the ball, put Luz out on blu-ray and you should snag yourself a copy ASAP.) Anyway it's been a bit of a wwait for Tilman to get another movie out but Cuckoo sounds like it's worth the wait; here's how Neon describes the movie:

"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."
