Hunter Schafer, Dan Stevens & Jessica Henwick Gush Over Demented New Horror Movie Cuckoo
Summary 2024 has been a great year for horror movies and the latest is Cuckoo, a strange and dream-like feature from director Tilman Singer. Only his second film, Singer also wrote the film, which stars Hunter Schafer as Gretchen, an American teenager who is sent to live with her father and his new family as they move into a resort in the German Alps during the off season.
Cuckoo has earned positive notes from critics so far thanks to its twisted story, genre blending elements, and the performances of its lead cast. Screen Rant sat down with Schafer, Henwick, and Stevens to talk about the film, including Schafer's first lead role, the origins of Herr Konig, and the relationship between Alma and Gretchen.
It's kind of like the heart of the film, watching them acknowledge and lean into the love that's there. "There's a Goethe poem called Erlkönig, which is all about this weird fairy king that murders children in the Black Forest, which is just part of German culture," he says, highlighting how his König compliments the woodsy surroundings and the dream-like atmosphere of the movie. "It's really kind of baked into the fabric of their law, their fairy tales and stuff.
