For the month of January, Nichole is chatting about a couple of her favorite horror films from 2024. First up? Tilman Singer’s incredibly strange and haunting Cuckoo, starring Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens.

This is definitely not a film that will hit with everyone, but the connection that forms between Gretchen, and her mute sister, Alma, is lovely. The film also touches on themes of bodily autonomy in some interesting and unexpected ways.
