The German-American production, starring the versatile Dan Stevens, promises an enthralling tale of mystery and terror that resonates with his past performances in the genre.
Following the triumph of “Longlegs”, Neon has unveiled another horror movie gracing the silver screen, igniting curiosity among fans of the genre. This latest offering is titled “Cuckoo“, a joint German-American production helmed by director Tilman Singer. The cast includes Hunter Schafer from “Euphoria”. In “Cuckoo“, we follow a teenager who, after her mother’s demise, is compelled to move in with her dad and his family. The plot thickens as her father and stepmother are determined to construct a new hotel at a resort owned by Herr König in the German Alps, portrayed brilliantly by Dan Stevens.
If you appreciate Stevens’ work, you’re aware that “Cuckoo” isn’t his first foray into horror. And if his performance in the latest film left you captivated, we’ve got three more titles that are sure to keep you engaged right from the opening scene!
Apostle
The movie “Apostle,” released in 2018 on Netflix, is a folk horror gem that hasn’t received the recognition it deserves. Set in 1905, a previous missionary finds out his sister has been abducted and embarks on a journey to a secluded island to challenge the cult responsible. Disguised among them, he interacts with the community members while attempting to rescue his sister, uncovering hidden truths that were meant to stay concealed. In addition to Stevens, “Apostle” stars Michael Sheen, Lucy Boynton, Mark Lewis Jones, Paul Higgins, Kristine Froseth, and Elen Rhys. Gareth Evans is the writer and director of this film.
