Verdict on Cuckoo
Recap
In my journey, I find myself reluctantly moving in with my long-lost father at a peculiar resort. The place, filled with oddities, is led by an enigmatic owner whose ideas seem far from ordinary. As time passes, I feel an urgent need to dig deeper and unravel the truth before it’s all too late.
Best Parts
As I found myself immersed in this chilling cinematic journey, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease as Gretchen acclimated to her new surroundings. The captivating performances by our talented cast left me questioning the very fabric of reality. The script masterfully unveils a convoluted narrative that kept me guessing, shrouding the truth in layers of disturbing complexity for far too long.
Worst Parts
The awkward scenes might be a little harsh in their portrayal. They seem somewhat familiar, but not quite at the same intensity level as before.
Final Thoughts –Cuckoo is an uncomfortable journey but nothing overly new.
