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.

Cuckoo wavers between nuttiness and arthouse rigidity.

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.

[I]t’s bigger than its runtime. Tilman has infused this chaotic title with shades of Giallo, some body horror, bits of supernatural shit, and so much more.

Cuckoo is able to make you intrigued, confused, unsettled, and on the edge of your seat in equal amounts from start to finish. Some of the best crafted scares in recent memory will inevitably be among the most talked about moments in horror this year.

Rated: 4/5
