The Cuckoo's Curse

The Cuckoo's Curse (Spanish: El cuco) is a 2023 supernatural thriller film directed by Mar Targarona [es] from a screenplay by Alfred Pérez-Fargas and Robert Danès, and starring Belén Cuesta, Rainer Reiners, Jorge Suquet, and Hildegard Schroedter.

In a distressed state he crashes Hans's Maserati GT and sprains his leg, announcing to Anna taciturnly that he will be returning to Spain the next day.

According to the called police patrol who hand her over to ambulance service, the woman is a dangerous escapee from a psychiatric hospital who suffers from Capgras syndrome.

Meanwhile, back in Marc and Anna's Spanish apartment, Hans and Olga spend all their time wearing loose robes and reciting incantations incessantly.

Anna breaks through the wall into a secret room in the house, where she finds two photographs showing Olga and Hans, with each of them having differing heights between two photos - and in one picture she recognises the strange woman who warned her earlier about being "next".

[6] Víctor A. Gómez of La Opinión de Málaga, wrote that Targarona delivers "a spectacle with no direction and sense other than that of absolute disaster".

[7] Toni Vall of Cinemanía rated the film 2 out of 5 stars, writing about "one of the most unequal casts imaginable", with Cuesta separated by a huge distance from the rest.
