Keeper Opens in Theaters With Polarized Reviews and Praise for Tatiana Maslany

Early critics highlight striking visuals alongside practical creature work, with recurring complaints about heavy exposition and pacing.

Overview

  • The relationship-driven cabin-in-the-woods horror from Osgood Perkins premiered in U.S. and U.K. cinemas on November 14.
  • Initial Rotten Tomatoes reporting pegs the score around 65% from about two dozen critics, trailing the ratings for Longlegs and The Monkey.
  • Reviewers consistently single out Tatiana Maslany’s performance as the film’s anchor and a key reason to watch.
  • Multiple outlets describe impressive imagery and atmosphere but cite narrative coherence issues, an expository late stretch, and an uneven payoff.
  • Maslany told Radio Times that NEON acquired the film in post-production and enabled larger-scale, practical creature design that critics have noted.
