Don’t call Cuckoo ‘2024’s Hereditary,’ the director says
Sam Levinson’s drama series “Euphoria” has catapulted several actors into the spotlight, such as Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, and Jacob Elordi, who have seen their film careers skyrocket following the show’s debut. The latest “Euphoria” actor poised for cinematic success is Hunter Schafer, who landed her first leading role in the horror movie “Cuckoo,” produced by Neon. In this film, Schafer portrays Gretchen, a U.S. teenager who is hesitant to join her father, stepmother, and mute half-sister at a secluded German resort operated by an intensely unsettling man (Dan Stevens from “The Guest”). While his overly friendly demeanor may seem innocent, it’s clear that he harbors some ominous intentions.
