Neon releases Tilman Singer’s feature in theaters August 9.

Cuckoo stars Schafer as Gretchen, a teen who gets more than she bargained for after accepting a job from Herr König (Dan Steven) at a resort in the German Alps.

Rounding out the cast are Jessica Henwick, Jan Bluthardt, Marton Csokas, Greta Fernández and Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey.

“How would you like to come work for me at the resort?” Stevens asks in the trailer. Later, Schafer wants to know, “Why did you bring us here?”

Singer (Luz) wrote and directed the movie that premiered at Berlin Film Fest in February and also screened at SXSW.

Thor Bradwell, Markus Halberschmidt, Ken Kao, Ben Rimmer, Josh Rosenbaum and Maria Tsigka serve as producers.

Schafer and Stevens play fiercely compelling adversaries.

Schafer is known for playing Jules Vaughn on HBO’s Emmy-winning drama series Euphoria. The actress appeared in Lionsgate’s 2023 action title The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. She will be seen in Kinds of Kindness, Searchlight’s forthcoming anthology feature from director Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things) that also stars Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons and Willem Dafoe.

Stevens stars in Warner Bros.’ Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which is currently in theaters. His Universal’s move Abigail debuts later this month.
