Cuckoo (2024)

Pouring one out for my homies...

Logline: American teenager relocates to the Bavarian Alps with her family and encounters some kooky goings-ons.
I enjoyed this one mostly because I had no idea what the fuck was going on most of the time. It's rare these days that the trailer doesn't give away all its secrets. I still don't understand a lot of it, but I dug the unsettling atmosphere and disorienting way it all plays out. To say any more would be a disservice to the surprises it contains, and the odd directions it takes.
