‘Cuckoo’ Star Hunter Schafer On Learning Her Way Around A Butterfly Knife
Hunter Schafer has already proven her stardom from her turn on the hit Max series Euphoria. But now, she’s showcasing how perfect she is for the horror genre in Tilman Singer’s new film Cuckoo. Here she plays Gretchen, a bass-playing teenage dirtbag who just wants to go back home. But, the owner of a resort in the German Alps has different plans for her.
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.
We spoke with Cuckoo stars Hunter Schafer, Dan Stevens, and Jessica Henwick about Mothman, stepmoms, and Stevens’ special brand of German accent.
