A wild ride from beginning to end and chaotic in the best possible way, with only a few vague and/or dropped plot points that don't detract from the fun of the whole.

Austin Chronicle

Stevens, however, leaps into the part with glee, even as he desperately tries to avoid some of the more stomach-churning aspects of the “mad German scientist” trope. Instead, he channels all the camp ghoulishness of Ernest Thesiger.

Bloody Disgusting

It’s so refreshingly unconventional and unpredictable in every way, right down to its raucous, entertainingly silly finale, that it’s hard to care about the plot details that get discarded along the way.

Rated: 3.5/5

Dread Central

Incomprehensibility breeds nightmares in Tilman Singer’s bold, stylish, exquisitely fun Cuckoo.

Rated: 4/5

The Cinematic Reel

Tilman Singer’s unique directorial vision is worth the price of admission with Cuckoo. In a year that’s shaping up to be an all-timer within the horror genre, the film stands as its own singular entity.

Rated: 3.5/5

Director's Club

Schafer is fully committed here. Stevens is a hoot. But by the end, I shrugged it off despite admiring its intent to go batshit crazy. Sadly, I simply felt disconnected and wished it had gone somewhere way more interesting than where it wound up.

Rated: 2.5/5
