Neon has released a new trailer for its upcoming thriller Cuckoo, starring Euphoria actress Hunter Schafer.
The 25-year-old transgender actress, who made headlines earlier this week for saying she doesn’t want to play transgender roles, plays Gretchen in the new film.
The thriller follows Gretchen and her parents (Jessica Henwick and Martin Csokas) as they move to a seemingly idyllic resort.
Gretchen soon discovers that things in this strange place are not at all what they seem to be.
Neon will release the film in theaters on August 9, following its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in February.

Gretchen soon discovers that things in this strange place are not at all what they seem to be.
The trailer begins with an audio recording of Gretchen saying, ‘Mom, I want to come home.’ She’s getting sick.’
The trailer shows some shots of the family driving through some mountain passes to reach this resort, where they are greeted by Mr. Koning (Dan Stevens).
‘How is your trip going?’ Koning asks, as Gretchen’s mother Beth says, “Very nice, thank you.”
Luis (Csokas) tells Gretchen to “come say hi,” as she only offers a casual “What’s up?”
Gretchen meets an older woman who says she is her neighbor and extends her hand and adds, “I haven’t heard of you.”
A confused Gretchen, carrying a Fender guitar amplifier, replies, “Why would you have heard of me?”
A strange noise is heard in the woods outside the resort, while another shot shows Mr. Koning asking Gretchen if she would like to work for him at the resort.
Gretchen is seen working a cash register while another girl vomits, while Gretchen is told, “This happens sometimes.”
