The Blu-ray presentation of 'Cuckoo' in AVC encoded 1080p offers a detailed showcase of the textured visuals in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, capturing the mountainous scenery and unique architecture. Despite not being in 4K, it delivers vibrant colors, precise delineation, and fine film-like grain.

The Blu-ray of 'Cuckoo' offers a robust 5.1 DTS-HD MA mix delivering clear dialog essential for plot reveals, complemented by crisp instrumentation and defined soundtrack selections. Surround effects enhance musical atmosphere and provide effective sound separation, although an Atmos mix could elevate the innovative sound design.

The Blu-ray extras for "Cuckoo" offer a standard EPK-style suite of featurettes with insights into the production's technical design elements and the cast's experiences, particularly Hunter Schafer's prominent involvement. Deleted scenes provide intriguing but non-essential character moments, while interviews and diaries complement these offerings with behind-the-scenes glimpses.

Cuckoo, a genre-fluid film by Tilman Singer, blends family drama with body horror wrapped in a creature feature, masterfully crafting an atmospheric narrative. With striking performances, notably by Hunter Schafer, and a plot that teeters between unsettling oddity and gripping suspense, it stands out in the 2024 lineup for its inventive storytelling and thematic depth.
