Osgood Perkins is back with another chilling offering, and this time he’s bringing us “Keeper,” a horror film drenched in sinister intrigue and featuring Tatiana Maslany. Neon continues to ride the spooky wave with Perkins, releasing his third film in just 16 months.
What happened
Perkins, the auteur behind the hits “Longlegs” and “The Monkey,” is delving into haunted territory with “Keeper.” Set in a creepy cabin, it leaves a woman, played by Maslany, facing an eerie presence following her husband’s departure. The synopsis says a sinister past is ready to be unearthed as she’s left alone after their anniversary.
A new teaser offers an unsettling glimpse into the secrets awaiting eager horror fans.
Behind the scenes
According to IndieWire, Perkins’ latest is a “grown-up, kind of relationship horror,” a departure from his previous work. Thanks to the Writers Guild strike, Perkins didn’t pen this script himself, handing over the keys to a “lovely Canadian non-union guy” named Nick Lepard.
Despite the writer’s strike, Perkins managed a cast featuring:
– Tatiana Maslany
– Rossif Sutherland
The film is touted as a beautiful, one-location thriller.
What’s next
There’s no stopping Perkins’ momentum. After the viral buzz of “Longlegs” and his cozy relationship with Neon — think more high-fives than terse emails — this film hits theaters on November 14.
As the calendar inches closer, horror aficionados are poised on the edge of their seats for yet another dark offering from this dynamic duo.
