Artist, entertainment, had me guessing on what was going on, had my attention, & We love Hunter!!

I thought the movie created a creepy ambiance. The performances of Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens were my favorite as their characters held the most emotion and integration into the story. The eventual plot reveal made the story a little more confusing and I felt certain characters abrupt removal from the film toward its end left it quite ambiguous for me. I think that the reveal could’ve been better tailored but aside from that, the movie had given me much entertainment and thought provocation.

Cuckoo will most certainly not be for everyone, but for those looking for a horror film that draws you in just as it defies any of your expectations for where it is supposed to go, it’s hard to think of a trip this year you’ll find that is as bold and bonkers as this one.

As Cuckoo moves to its final third the fragments of its ideas never quite form a convincing whole. Luckily, Schafer is there to guide us through.

Sure to be a cult classic, it’s quite literally cuckoo – and often gloriously so.
