We have more shots of Dan Stevens being eccentric and Hunter Schafer being chased by a creepy woman in the second trailer for Cuckoo, Tilman Singer's horror set in a remote resort in the German Alps.

The story follows Gretchen (Schafer), who encounters a terrifying hooded figure after taking a job at a nearby hotel.

"Whatever the film's more overt horrors, whether its chilling atmosphere or its attempts at amusing moral and visceral obscenities, they're all bound by Schafer's increasing physical and emotional despondency," wrote Mashable's Siddhant Adlakha in his review. "She doesn't just save the movie. She is the movie, making it all the more remarkable to watch."

How to watch: Cuckoo is in theatres from May 3.
