CUCKOO features EUPHORIA’s star Hunter Schafer in her first leading role, hailed as a “terrific final girl performance” alongside exhilarating performances from Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey), Jessica Henwick (Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery), and Greta Fernandez (A Thief's Daughter). Shot on 35 mm, the film was produced by NEON, Fiction Park, and Waypoint Entertainment. CUCKOO also features an original song ‘Gretchen’s Song” with vocals by the film’s star Hunter Schafer, which was released last month on all platforms.

CUCKOO tells the story of 17-year-old Gretchen (Schafer) who leaves her American home to live with her father and moves into a resort in the German Alps with his new family. Arriving at their future residence, they are greeted by Mr. König (Stevens), 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.
