Cuckoo may do for German tourism what Midsommar did for vacations in rustic northern Sweden.

In the trailer for the new film from Tilman Singer, Hunter Schafer (Euphoria) plays a woman who leaves America to visit her father in the German Alps. She gets a job at a nearby inn, and things go downhill from there.

The movie’s official description reads, “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 (Dan Stevens), her father’s boss, who takes an inexplicable interest in Gretchen’s mute half-sister Alma (Mila Lieu). 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.” 

Movies like this are why some of us only take stay-cations.

Márton Csókás plays Gretchen’s father, and Jessica Henwick plays his new wife. Jan Bluthardt and Greta Hernandez also star.

Singer wrote and directed the film, which premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival in February. The movie was also screened at SXSW. It opens in theaters here on August 9th.
