Cuckoo (Tilman Singer, Dan Stevens, Hunter Schafer, November 2024)

CUCKOO - Official Trailer - YouTube

I loved the director's Luz so had my fingers crossed for this.

It was funny, a little bit unsettling, extremely well done and the cast was perfect.

I was expecting total batshit crazy after Luz but it was more reserved and accessible maybe so hopefully it'll get a bigger audience.

Mostly English but a few important bits in German (or maybe not that gave away a bit of the story) so subtitles needed if a 4K does pop up somewhere.

Now that is the artwork that should be on the UK BD.

I know why they went with what they did though, as they're trying to appeal to a wider audience. It looks like it fits right in with your run-of-the-mill, last-teen-girl-standing, mid-budget, mainstream horror flick, whereas in actuality (going off Singer's previous film Luz), I'm assuming this will have something of a brooding arthouse sensibility to it, which the BD cover simply doesn't convey.

In fact, when I first saw the BD I dismissed it out of hand completely as something entirely disposable. It wasn't until I found out that it was the latest film from someone I admired that I cottoned on. My brain had instinctively put it in to the same category of film as Becky, Totally Killer or Freaky, which have their place but don't really appeal to me.

I could be wrong, but I do believe these kinds of things turn off the exact type of audience that is likely to appreciate the film and be more receptive towards what might be a more esoteric style, whilst attracting a larger cohort of those who really won't.

It reminds me of the BD art they used for the UK edition of Valhalla Rising. Now, I've got a lot of time for 300, but I'm not sure if the average dudebro suckered in to watching Valhalla Rising based on the marketing department's deliberate ploy to appeal to the 300 audience would have been anything other than majorly disappointed with the cerebral slow-burn that they got. And again, the artwork they used will likely have put off many who would have gotten a lot out of it.

Loved this movie. Will pick it up eventually! Major, major Halloween III: Season of the Witch vibes, both in terms of the plot, the 'monsters' and how Dan Stevens presides over the resort.

Massive thanks to kynposters obviously.


Very surprised this hasn't popped up on 4K somewhere.

Got mine and watched it last night. Looked great and the soundtrack was amazing (don't mind the stream being anything close).

Disc is locked B. Total disc volume: 29GB.
