In the Cuckoo movie, a 17-year-old girl Gretchen works hard to protect her half-sister Alma from the Woman with Red Eyes, a terrifying figure who manipulates and attacks visitors at a remote German resort. This dark entity seeks to unleash her children's potential abilities and reset reality to her own design. Gretchen's commitment to her sister is central to their fight for survival.


Cuckoo centers on Gretchen (played by Hunter Schafer), an average teen who spends the summer with her estranged father, his wife, and Alma at a secluded resort in the German Alps. The resort, run by the mysterious Dr. Köning, seems beautiful but hides dark secrets. As Gretchen uncovers these secrets, she encounters the monstrous Woman with Red Eyes, who poses a significant threat.

By the film’s end, Gretchen’s efforts to protect Alma disrupt Dr. Köning’s plans. Alma, connected to the Woman with Red Eyes, has some of her abilities, but Gretchen’s intervention prevents a full reunion that could have changed Alma’s mind and fate. Gretchen manages to kill the Woman with Red Eyes, possibly saving Alma from a terrible fate, though Alma might still retain some of the Woman's traits.


The Woman with Red Eyes is a powerful and menacing figure in the film. She can attack and confuse people using her abilities, and she seeks to develop her children's potential. Dr. Köning’s actions are driven by his desire to foster this new species, and the Woman with Red Eyes is central to his plans.

Henry, another key character, initially helps Gretchen but has his own motivations. He seeks revenge for his wife’s death at the resort, which leads him to target everyone connected to the Woman, including Alma. Henry, a former guest at the resort, becomes both an ally and a threat. Initially seeking revenge for his wife’s death at the resort, he helps Gretchen but later becomes a danger himself, targeting Alma.

The film concludes with an intense shootout between Dr. Köning and Henry, leaving their fates ambiguous. This unresolved ending, coupled with lingering questions about other potential monsters and the future of Alma, sets the stage for possible sequels.
