Cuckoo opens on Friday, August 9, but some screenings are available on Thursday, August 8, as is customary, and is being released by Neon, whose last film, Longlegs, was a cultural phenomenon as well as a box office hit.

NEON held a sneak preview of the film at The Vista Theater in Hollywood tonight with the director in person. The earthquake struck during the Q&A, but the moderator and Singer continued on without any panic.

Singer’s uniquely captivating storytelling style and Schafer and Stevens’ talent result in a gripping horror experience that is both terrifying and thought-provoking.

With this new film, he continues to push boundaries and explore fresh narratives, cementing his reputation as a visionary director in the industry. Fans of horror and cinema enthusiasts alike can eagerly anticipate another thrilling and visually impressive journey from Singer’s latest work.
