Cuckoo | Ratings & Reviews

"A stylish, enjoyably incoherent horror romp."

VarietyVariety

"An unhinged Dan Stevens nearly saves the too-kooky thriller."

The Globe and MailThe Globe and Mail

"Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens keep you glued even when (the film) careens off the rails."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"A wackadoo horror-thriller that promises more than it delivers."

The TelegraphThe Telegraph

"Hunter Schafer is a convincing scream queen in this... chiller which prioritises mood over plot."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"The film’s few plot holes are papered over for a deafening ring worth repeating."

RogerEbert.comRogerEbert.com

"A stylish nightmare, with a wonderfully sinister Dan Stevens."

Associated PressAssociated Press

"A bonkers, bloody rollercoaster of terrorising sound design and dynamic performances."

Slash FilmSlash Film

"It’s so refreshingly unconventional... that it’s hard to care about the plot details that get discarded along the way."

Bloody DisgustingBloody Disgusting

"A wild ride from beginning to end and chaotic in the best possible way."

SalonSalon

"The biggest crime... is that it won’t lean into being a B-movie, something it might’ve been good at."

IndieWireIndieWire

"It fails on its own terms, as a scare-free horror flick."

The TimesThe Times

"Unable to commit to realism or absurdity, the film fails to live up to the promise of its title."

Slant MagazineSlant Magazine

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

Time OutTime Out

"Thank goodness... for Stevens, who seems to take the preposterousness seriously – at least from a performance standpoint."

Austin ChronicleAustin Chronicle

"It's a goofy, gory horror romp unlike anything you've ever seen."

ColliderCollider

"A wonderfully weird and original monster movie."

Film School RejectsFilm School Rejects

"While its scattered storytelling may divide audiences, the film's atmospheric tension makes it a worthy watch."

We Got This CoveredWe Got This Covered

"More style than substance."
