Keeper

Keeper is a film that creates a bit of a conundrum in trying to review it, how do you review a movie if you can barely talk about it out of fear of spoilers. The film centers on Liz & Malcolm (Tatiana Maslany & Rossif Sutherland) a young couple spending a weekend in Malcolm’s high end cabin, when Malcolm is called on a work emergency Liz is left alone in the house and soon is besieged by strange visions and possibly something truly sinister. Keeper is a film that should have a “for weirdos only” sticker attached. This is true surrealisty horror, a film built less on plot but on off-center vibes and world building. It is almost tailor made to divide audiences even among director Osgood Perkins fanbase. I must admit this is on the weaker end of the Perkins canon but i truly admired the commitment to putting an audience through a truly unique world built entirely on nightmare logic. Keeper isn’t necessarily a keeper among Perkins filmography but it definitely has some good surreal chills. 

I Give It 4 1/2 Stars!!!
