It's a strange horror film, but its concept is quite novel. It's quite slow and I'd say the strongest aspect is the idea rather than the horror attractions, but the stalking granny has something to it and the music is good as well. Too bad the ending is resolved with gunfire and not something shaper. The acting is fine, the atmosphere is interesting, the craftsmanship is decent, the idea is novel. Cuckoo has its moments, it just never completely breaks free from its chains. 55%

A Bavarian faded phantasmagoria, as fascinating as it is deeply irritating. I can't yet decide which way it prevails with me. I was about to write that Cuckoo is the dictionary definition of a smug wank, but then I somehow connected to it on an intuitive level. Anyway, it's very much its own in atmosphere and originality, I appreciate that, and I can only imagine how cool the result would be if Tilman Singer wanted to make genre films that were a little easier to consume, which, given his experience with Luz and Cuckoo, he clearly doesn't want to do.
