Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride) will soon resume their European voyage as a new teaser for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 has revealed a fall release window. Unveiled during the Season 2 premiere of Dead City last night, the teaser shows the resilient duo back on the road, continuing their arduous journey towards the Commonwealth. After facing and surviving fresh threats in France in Season 2, the pair completed The Book of Carol arc. Season 3 will see their post-apocalyptic odyssey take another unexpected turn as they somehow find themselves in Spain, despite initially setting a course for England.

Though brief, the teaser offers a glimpse at new potential allies and enemies for Daryl and Carol. It opens with a haggard Daryl staggering alone across a desert landscape which is obviously in Spain. “I was pretty young when all this started,” he says in a voiceover. “Now, what we do is run and fight.

Tilman Singer’s latest horror film (after the chilling 2018 film Luz), Cuckoo, is a similarly unsettling terrifier that takes us into the world of a remote Bavarian resort. With a plot that keeps pushing new and mysterious elements that tease of psychological tension, supernatural horror, and family drama, Cuckoo explores themes of isolation, grief, and the dangers of not trusting one’s instincts. Starring Hunter Schafer, Dan Stevens, and Jessica Henwick, the film is intermittently captivating, building an eerie atmosphere and unnerving narrative. However, Cuckoo is never truly able to bring all the elements together, especially that baffling ending; it is crucial to look closely at it.

In the following article we will take a look at everything major that will help you understand the twisted horror movie better. Please be aware of spoilers.

Cuckoo (2024) Plot Summary & Movie Synopsis:

The film opens with 17-year-old Gretchen (Hunter Schafer) being uprooted from...

As we enter the final stretch of 2024, Hulu is turning up the scare factor with a trio of must-see horror movies dropping on its platform this December. These films were all released in theaters this year. If you didn't get the chance to see any of them then, you will get to watch them from the comfort of your home very soon.

Cuckoo

Leading the pack is the Neon horror flick Cuckoo. Tilman Singer, who is best known for being behind the German supernatural horror film Luz, wrote the script and directed the movie. It stars Euphoria's Hunter Schafer as a teenage girl named Gretchen, who, after being forced to live with her father at a resort in the German Alps, starts experiencing bizarre occurrences and eerie visions. She soon realizes that the seemingly perfect resort hides dark secrets and that her life is in grave danger.

Filming on...

The post-apocalyptic AMC drama series “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” will film its third season across multiple regions in Spain. Production is currently underway for the new season, scheduled to premiere in 2025. This marks a shift from the previous French setting as the show explores different areas coping with the global walker outbreak.

Series lead characters Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier ended season two pursuing their goal to return home. In a post-finale teaser, Norman Reedus expressed Dixon’s exhaustion but determination, saying “I was ready to give up. Thought it was all over.” Melissa McBride’s Carol responded that she felt the same.

Showrunner David Zabel said the characters “should not settle down” and must “keep moving” on their journey. Filming will take place in Spain’s Galicia, Aragón, Catalonia, and Valencia regions to continuing telling their story. Zabel hinted future seasons may explore more global locations depending on the characters’ paths.

After Sunday night’s season finale, Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier are set to continue on a European journey that will eventually have a next stop in Spain. And a new, post-finale teaser shows a brief glimpse at what’s in store when the The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon stars eventually get there.

The teaser (below) debuted during Sunday night’s finale of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, “The Book of Carol,” which left the recently reunited zombie-fighting travelers in a tunnel heading to London. With production on the already renewed third season now underway in Spain, the big question is: How will Daryl and Carol wind up there?

“I was ready to give up. Thought it was all over,” Daryl (Norman Reedus) tells Carol (Melissa McBride) in the teaser. “You and me both,” she replies, with as much of a smile as she can muster.

Three brand new horror movies that were each released in theaters across the past month have made their way home today, a couple of them catching us totally by surprise this week.

Here are three straight-from-theaters frights you can watch at home now…

Cuckoo

After scaring up $6 million in theaters last month, Neon’s horror movie Cuckoo starring Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens is now available at home via Digital outlets.

You can rent the film for $9.99 or purchase it for $19.99.

Cuckoo will be also available on Blu-ray and DVD starting October 22.

Following his festival sensation Luz, German director Tilman Singer has once again succeeded in creating an atmospheric and visually outstanding horror trip with an original plot and perfidious twists. Cuckoo features Euphoria star Hunter Schafer in her first leading role, hailed as a “terrific final girl performance” alongside exhilarating performances from Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey), Jessica Henwick (Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery...

Cuckoo, a horror film from writer/director Tilman Singer that stars Hunter Schafer (Euphoria), Dan Stevens (The Guest), Jessica Henwick (Love and Monsters), Marton Csókás (Freelance), Greta Fernández (Santo), and Jan Bluthardt (Tatort), was given a theatrical release on August 9th. One month later, it has now received a digital release and can be found on Amazon’s Prime Video, where it’s available to rent for $9.99 or purchase for $19.99.

JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols gave Cuckoo an 8/10 review you can read at This Link, and we have interviews with the lead actors Here.

The film has the following official synopsis: Reluctantly, 17-year-old Gretchen leaves her American home to live with her father, who has just moved into a resort in the German Alps with his new family. Arriving at their future residence, they are greeted by Mr. König, her father’s boss, who takes an inexplicable interest in Gretchen’s mute half-sister Alma.

After scaring up $6 million in theaters earlier this year, Neon’s horror movie Cuckoo starring Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens is now headed home to Digital, we’ve learned.

Award-winning film studio Neon announced today that audiences will be able to enjoy Cuckoo for digital purchase and rental starting tomorrow, September 17th.

The film will be also available on Blu-ray and DVD starting October 22.

Horror continues to be the surest of sure non-ip things at the box office, so it's a bummer that Tilman Singer's "Cuckoo" couldn't catch on theatrically like its distributor Neon's "Longlegs" did back in July. The film received mostly positive reviews (it currently holds a 77% fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes), and boasted an acclaimed performance from "Euphoria" star Hunter Schafer, but it just couldn't generate the must-see buzz of Osgood Perkins' skin-crawling sensation. Dan Stevens turns in a far more interestingly unhinged performance than Nicolas Cage's one-note shriek-show in "Longlegs," but Stevens, for whatever reason (and it's getting fairly baffling by this point), isn't an A-lister. He's handsome, he's charming, he's ridiculously talented — what's the problem here?

In any event, since you probably missed "Cuckoo" during its brief theatrical run, you'll now be able to discover its nutty pleasures. As is typically the case with horror movies nowadays,...

Following the box office success of Immaculate and especially Longlegs, Neon is back on the big screen with their latest horror offering Cuckoo, which has been earing rave reviews from critics and horror fans alike. It’s undoubtedly a far less mainstream horror movie than Longlegs, however, and it was only released in 1,503 theaters nationwide over the weekend.

How did Cuckoo fare in its opening weekend at the box office? It’s no Longlegs but Neon is surely smiling at the indie horror movie’s $3,012,500 opening weekend this morning. Interesting to note, Cuckoo is currently sitting in the #9 spot on the domestic box office charts, with Longlegs making another $2 million over the weekend and finding itself in the #10 spot.

Cuckoo is the latest horror movie from writer/director Tilman Singer (Luz). The film’s reported production budget was a mere $7 million. Hunter Schafer (“Euphoria”) stars.

In Cuckoo: “Reluctantly, 17-year-old...

Two years have gone by since we heard that production had wrapped on Cuckoo, a new horror film from writer/director Tilman Singer that stars Hunter Schafer (Euphoria), Dan Stevens (The Guest), Jessica Henwick (Love and Monsters), Marton Csókás (Freelance), Greta Fernández (Santo), and Jan Bluthardt (Tatort). Now our chance to see the film is upon us, as it has reached theatres today, August 9th. JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols gave Cuckoo an 8/10 review you can read at This Link, we have interviews with the lead actors Here, and earlier this week we shared a clip that gave Schafer’s character a terrifying biking experience. A press release noted that Dan Stevens turns in a “brilliant and terrifying” performance in the film, and he has described his role as a “delicious antagonist role.” In the new clip embedded above, we get a 90 second sample of Stevens’ performance, and it is quite creepy.

This week brings an eclectic mix of new horror movies, including Neon’s latest in theaters, the return of Terrifier 2‘s Lauren Lavera, and even an unofficial Mickey Mouse slasher movie.

Here’s all the new horror releasing August 5 – August 11, 2024!

JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols gave Cuckoo an 8/10 review you can read at This Link.

Here’s the official synopsis: Reluctantly, 17-year-old Gretchen leaves her American home to live with her father, who has just moved into a resort in the German Alps with his new family.

Fresh off a recent turn in “The Hunger Games” universe at the end of last year and a cameo in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Kinds of Kindness” earlier this summer, Hunter Schafer is quickly returning back to the silver screen with “Luz” filmmaker Tilman Singer’s “Cuckoo.” The film centers on 17-year-old Gretchen (Schafer), who is forced to leave her American home to live with her father in a resort in the German Alps with his new wife and family, before things very quickly spin out of control into a surreal horror nightmare.

Three months after the Season 2 finale of “Euphoria” aired, Schafer flew to Germany to star in her very first feature film. “Looking back on the experience overall, the biggest difference is that I started ‘Euphoria’ in 2019 and it’s still going now. And then with something like ‘Cuckoo,’ with this experience, it lives solely in those three months [of production], at...

Neon has released the new trailer for Cuckoo, the horror film starring Hunter Schafer. Written and directed by Tilman Singer, the movie opens in theaters on August 9, 2024.

A Fiction Park and Waypoint Entertainment production, Cuckoo was rated R by the MPA for violence, bloody images, language, and brief teen drug use.

In the movie, 17-year-old Gretchen reluctantly leaves her American home to live with her father, who has just moved into a resort in the German Alps with his new family. Arriving at their future residence, they are greeted by Mr. König, her father’s boss, who takes an inexplicable interest in Gretchen’s mute half-sister, Alma.

Dan Stevens...

“Euphoria” breakout Hunter Schafer is playing yet another teen trying to outrun her familial drama, except this time, it’s a surreal matter of life or death. Schafer leads “Cuckoo,” written and directed by “Luz” filmmaker Tilman Singer.

Six years after Singer’s 2018 feature debut, “Cuckoo” centers on 17-year-old Gretchen (Schafer) who is forced to leave her American home to live with her father (Márton Csókás) in a resort in the German Alps with his new wife (Jessica Henwick) and family. Yet it’s her father’s boss Mr. Konig (Dan Stevens) and his obsession with Gretchen’s mute half-sister Alma (Mila Lieu) that unlocks a larger, more sinister presence at the resort. Gretchen becomes haunted by strange noises and bloody visions until she discovers a shocking secret that also concerns her own family. Jan Bluthardt and Greta Fernandez also star in the horror film.

“Cuckoo” was shot on 35mm...

Hunter Schafer was among one of the standout performers in HBO’s hit series Euphoria. Among other rising actresses like Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney, she managed to hold her own in her acting debut with her role as Jules Vaughn. The show mirrored her own experiences as a trans woman and fans were impressed with the ease with which she essayed her role.

Another standout from the series was Angus Cloud who sadly passed away last year. Schafer recently reflected on Angus’ contribution to the show and the type of person he was in real life. Schafer had nothing but kind words to say about the late actor who left a special mark on the entire cast of Euphoria.

Neon had been planning to give Cuckoo a theatrical release on May 3rd, but now our friends at Bloody Disgusting have learned that the release date has been pushed back to August 9th. They also got their hands on a new poster for the film, and you can check that out at the bottom of this article.

Here’s the official synopsis: Reluctantly, 17-year-old Gretchen leaves her American home to live with her father, who has just moved into a resort in...

Up next from writer/director Tilman Singer (Luz) is Neon’s strange horror movie Cuckoo, starring Hunter Schafer (“Euphoria”). Neon unveiled a new poster for the upcoming horror movie today, along with a new Cuckoo release date.

Look for Cuckoo to now arrive in theaters nationwide on August 9, 2024.

Check out the new poster below, and expect the trailer for Cuckoo next week.

In Cuckoo: “Reluctantly, 17-year-old Gretchen leaves her American home to live with her father, who has just moved into a resort in the German Alps with his new family. Arriving at their future residence, they are greeted by Mr. König, her father’s boss, who takes an inexplicable interest in Gretchen’s mute half-sister Alma. Something doesn’t seem right in this tranquil vacation paradise. Gretchen is plagued by strange noises and bloody visions until she discovers a shocking secret that also concerns her own family.”

Dan Stevens...

Neon has been dominating the horror movie discourse here in 2024, with the Nicolas Cage-starring Longlegs and the Sydney Sweeney-starring Immaculate headed our way.

And then there’s Cuckoo starring Hunter Schafer (“Euphoria”), which is coming to theaters on May 3, 2024. The film has been officially rated “R” by the MPA this week for…

“Violence, bloody images, language and brief teen drug use.”

Cuckoo, the new horror movie from director Tilman Singer (Luz), will be making its International Premiere this month at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas. Be sure to keep an eye out for Bloody Disgusting’s coverage of the fest, Cuckoo included.

Hunter Schafer is a very good actress. This probably won’t be news to anyone who watched even the first episode of Euphoria, where her aching vulnerability seemed to swallow the scenery whole. Fresh from appearing in the latest Hunger Games, the actress takes her first leading role in Cuckoo, a supernatural horror that doesn’t feel pushed to explain itself, offering a fun mashup of older, less-well-heeled filmmaking tropes. There is a nicely hammy turn from Dan Stevens and one finely tuned homage, but in Schafer it holds an ace: nailing the physical comedy and stretching her emotive face to the limit, the film is all hers.

In Cuckoo, Schafer stars as Gretchen, a teenager who is joining her father Luis (Marton Csokas) as he moves to a resort in the German Alps with his new wife Trixie (Greta Fernández) and daughter Alma (Mila Lieu). Upon arrival they meet Luis’ boss Mr König,...

The first shot after the opening titles of Tilman Singer’s savvily conceived but undercooked Cuckoo is like a reverse angle of the opening shot of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Here, a family drives through beautiful but implicitly foreboding mountainous terrain. And we’re located in the cab of the car with Gretchen (Hunter Schafer), an angsty teen who’s been forced to relocate from her home in the U.S. to a relatively remote corner of the Bavarian Alps.

Steep, imposingly snow-capped, and dotted with romantic castles and high-end ski lodges, the Bavarian Alps are tourist magnets, and justifiably so. But this part of Germany was also a favorite of Hitler’s, and today it’s the heart of traditional conservativism in the country. Like Appalachia in the U.S., it’s a place a horror movie might take us to in search of scary people—except here...

Nearly two years have gone by since we heard that production had wrapped on Cuckoo, a new horror film from writer/director Tilman Singer that stars Hunter Schafer (Euphoria), Dan Stevens (The Guest), Jessica Henwick (Love and Monsters), Marton Csókás (Freelance), Greta Fernández (Santo), and Jan Bluthardt (Tatort) – but we’re finally going to have the chance to see it very soon, as Neon will be giving Cuckoo a theatrical release on May 3rd. The film has been shrouded in secrecy this whole time, but during a new interview with Variety Schafer has revealed some new details… like the fact that Cuckoo sees her getting covered in blood and facing off with a bird-like monster!

First, here’s a refresher on the official synopsis: Reluctantly, 17-year-old Gretchen leaves her American home to live with her father, who has just moved into a resort in the German Alps with his new family.

Ornithologists will no doubt roll their eyes and scoff, “Who doesn’t know that?” But it was news to me that cuckoos, aside from inspiring those infernal kitsch clocks you want to smash once an hour, are also what’s known as brood parasites. That means they’re either too busy or too lazy or too evil to raise their own young, so they drop their eggs in the nests of other birds and let them do the parenting instead. Respect. German writer-director Tilman Singer folds that fascinating nugget of bird arcana into a reproductive horror scenario that’s more strange than coherent in his second feature, naturally titled Cuckoo.

There’s more than the seed of an entertainingly trippy freakout here, applying the peculiar breeding habits of the cuckoo to the demented plan of a self-described preservationist, bent on somehow or other building an assembly line of enhanced propagation using young “nestlings.

Everyone knows that hotels — preferably isolated, ideally with very few guests — make the best settings for horror films. All that sad anonymity, all that provisional space ready to be filled with something really nasty. In Cuckoo, Alpenplatz, run by the excessively friendly Mr. Konig (Dan Stevens) totally fits the bill.

You never get a clear idea of its geography, apart from an enormous foyer fronted by a sort of supermarket where the odd, disoriented guest wanders in to vomit into the freezer unit. “Oh yes, that happens sometimes,” says the flirty receptionist Trixie (Greta Fernandez), who apparently has just stepped out of one of Brigitte Bardot’s lesser movies. There also are some bungalows — how close to the main building is not clear either — including one painted pink that Konig calls “the love nest.” In horror, that has to be a bad sign.

So a hotel is a good start.

The marketing thus far behind upcoming horror movie Cuckoo, from Neon and director Tilman Singer (Luz), has been refreshingly enigmatic so far, giving only the barest hints of its plot. New plot details have emerged in a recent Variety interview with star Hunter Schafer (“Euphoria”), and they sound absolutely bonkers.

Cuckoo is coming to theaters on May 3, 2024.

In Cuckoo: “Reluctantly, 17-year-old Gretchen leaves her American home to live with her father, who has just moved into a resort in the German Alps with his new family. Arriving at their future residence, they are greeted by Mr. König, her father’s boss, who takes an inexplicable interest in Gretchen’s mute half-sister Alma. Something doesn’t seem right in this tranquil vacation paradise. Gretchen is plagued by strange noises and bloody visions until she discovers a shocking secret that also concerns her own family.”

Now the movie is going to be making its way out into the world very soon, as Neon will be giving Cuckoo a theatrical release on May 3rd. In anticipation on that release, a quick teaser trailer for the film has arrived online, along with the warning, “The adolescent needs to be trained.” You can watch the trailer in the embed above.

At one point, it was announced that Gemma Chan (Eternals), Sofia Boutella (The Mummy 2017), Zita Hanrot, Proschat Madani (Walking on Sunshine), and John Malkovich (Being John Malkovich) would be in the movie as well, but it looks like most of...

A brand new teaser for mysterious horror film Cuckoo, from Neon and director Tilman Singer (Luz), debuted today, giving us another look at star Hunter Schafer (“Euphoria”) while revealing absolutely nothing.

Cuckoo is coming to theaters on May 3, 2024.

In Cuckoo: “Reluctantly, 17-year-old Gretchen leaves her American home to live with her father, who has just moved into a resort in the German Alps with his new family.

Something doesn’t seem right in this tranquil vacation paradise. Gretchen is plagued by strange noises and bloody visions until she discovers a shocking secret that also concerns her own family.”

Check out the enigmatic teaser below, which leaves a character vulnerable to the open night and telling us nothing about the plot. A very intriguing move!

Nearly two years have gone by since we heard that production had wrapped on Cuckoo, a new horror film from writer/director Tilman Singer that stars Hunter Schafer (Euphoria), Dan Stevens (The Guest), Jessica Henwick (Love and Monsters), Marton Csókás (Freelance), Greta Fernández (Santo), and Jan Bluthardt (Tatort). Now we finally know when the movie is going to be making its way out into the world: Neon has announced that they’ll be giving Cuckoo a theatrical release on May 3rd.

At one point, it was announced that Gemma Chan (Eternals), Sofia Boutella (The Mummy 2017), Zita Hanrot, Proschat Madani (Walking on Sunshine), and John Malkovich (Being John Malkovich) would be in the movie as well, but it looks like most of them had to drop out of the project before filming began.

Details on Cuckoo are being kept under wraps. This is the second feature for Singer, following the 2018 supernatural horror film Luz,...

Neon is offering up a hotly anticipated horror slate here in 2024, with the Nicolas Cage-starring Longlegs and the Sydney Sweeney-starring Immaculate headed our way this year.

And then there’s Cuckoo starring Hunter Schafer (“Euphoria”), which has also been dated for 2024 release by Neon this week. It’s coming to theaters on May 3, 2024.

Dan Stevens (The Guest), Jessica Henwick (Underwater), Marton Csókás (Freelance), Greta Fernández (Santo) and Jan Bluthardt (Luz) also star in Cuckoo.

From Neon and director Tilman Singer (Luz), not much is known about Cuckoo, with plot details under wraps. But the above image suggests some kind of stalker-slasher element.

Hunter Schafer is hiding from someone… or perhaps something…

Tom Quinn, Jeff Deutchman, Emily Thomas and Ryan Friscia executive produced Cuckoo for Neon, with producers including Markus Halberschmidt, Josh Rosenbaum, Maria Tsigka, and Ken Kao, Thor Bradwell and Ben Rimmer. Shot on 35mm in Germany, the...
