Seemingly Every Horror Filmmaker in Hollywood Agrees: ‘Keeper’ Looks Creepy AF

Reading time 1 minute

We’re just over one week away from Keeper hitting theaters, meaning the latest from Osgood Perkins can finally stop with the freaky, enigmatic marketing campaign and fully reveal itself to the world. However, there’s still time for one last trailer—filled with even more quotes from Perkins’ horror peers (and a few repeats from the last trailer), agreeing that this movie is going to blow your socks off.

However, and this is key, Keeper proves it’s fully aware of the “show me, don’t tell me” rule of filmmaking and throws down with some genuinely unsettling creature imagery to go with the praise from Bong Joon Ho, Fede Alvarez, Damien Leone, Guillermo del Toro, and others. (Video game titan Hideo Kojima calls Perkins “the wizard of horror.”) There are also some fresh looks at Tatiana Maslany’s character having a meltdown reminiscent of Wendy Torrance in The Shining.

Can you blame her, with all those drooling monsters roaming around? Oh, and it looks like Keeper has a fun new tagline too: “Hell awaits.”

While we still have very little idea of what Keeper‘s story is about, beyond it being a relationship drama that spirals into something supernaturally nightmarish, we feel very confident about the vibes: it’s gonna be an icky, nerve-jangling ride, possibly even more hysterical than Perkins’ The Monkey and more visceral than his Longlegs.

Will you be checking out Keeper when it arrives next week?
