Cuckoo (2024)

Cuckoo is really Cuckoo

an UFO of a movie

psychotronic

psychedelic

weird horror thriller coming-of-age in the vein of Argento's Phenomena IMO, also because of the scenic Alps location and the ornithologic element (there it was bees). Also because it's Shot on film, 35 mm and in Anamorphic 2.35.1.

also Deutsch.

great soundtrack, ecclectic.

forget Longlegs, this is different but Better, on top of the Horror films this year, along with Maxxine, Oddity & Late Night with the Devil (which is 2023 actually but I saw it this spring). Soft spot for Sting. 

It's Tilman Singer's second feature after LUZ (2018), which I plan to see now. At the beginning the cast was different. Comes from Neon in US. Premiered at the Berlinale 2024. It won Silver Raven in BIFFF. Toured all the genre festivals.

definitly has a Cult-ish flavour. Also the plot is, did I say, cuckoo? ;)

  1. And what is the dreaded "homo cuculidae"? A shrieking woman in a trenchcoat and sunglasses.
    Auf wiedersehen, Herr Konig.
