Critics Consensus

Directed with inventive flair by Tilman Singer while given flavorful personality by stars Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens, Cuckoo is a madcap madhouse horror that's on the right side of deranged.

Hannah Strong

Little White Lies

It’s a thoughtfully produced film, but one that lacks on the story front, as fun as some of the more bizarro moments are.

Rated: 3/5

Cuckoo is far from perfect, but Hunter Schafer’s acting and a satisfying twist make it worth a watch.

Los Angeles Times

The best of all is Schafer, fully effective in the development of a character who initially seems to be a scared bunny, but who gradually shows their claws. [Full review in Spanish]

Washington Blade

Singer’s shrewdly balanced blend of genre tropes and artistic vision as a director never wavers, keeping us not only invested but thrilled by his style even during his movie’s silliest moments.

Cuckoo is an exciting genre exercise that aptly can’t figure out its personality.

Rated: 3.5/5

Charles Koplinski

Illinois Times

While it delivers plenty of cringe-worthy moments, it’s the knowing humor that helps sustain this strange concoction, one that is best viewed with a raucous crowd and, if one is available, an ornithologist.

Rated: 3/4

Thought is was great and Dan Stevens was a creepy genius! He's really making his way in horror and I'm here for it! The cinematography was great and it did a good job of drawing you in! Might start off a little slow for some ppl but this needed it for the story arc. It was something refreshing and new. It gave me a silent Hill siren feeling when you heard the noise.. in My opinion it was masterful and a must see for a horror fanatic. It didn't disappoint I wanted more!

It's kind of all over the place. The leads do a great job in their roles but the story is kind of broken. The final act is very over the top compared to the rest of the movie and the ending left something to be desired

Story was convoluted and wandering. I wish there was less family drama setup and more creature backstory development. Acting was good.
