‘Cuckoo’ Director Tilman Singer On Filming In Abandoned Locations
Tilman Singer made a splash in the horror world with his feature film debut Luz, which was also his film school thesis. Now, with the support of Neon, he’s back with his new film Cuckoo, a film that defies genre and delivers immaculately bizarre vibes.
Read the full synopsis below:
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.
We spoke with Singer about the horror of cuckoo birds, abandoned military bases, and life after making Luz.
