Osgood Perkins’ Keeper Debuts to Divided Reviews

Critics highlight strong craft over uneven writing.

Overview

  • The NEON release is now playing in U.S. theaters after Nov. 13 preview events and a Nov. 14 wide opening.
  • The cabin-set folk horror stars Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland, with Maslany’s performance drawing consistent praise.
  • Reviewers commend the film’s atmosphere, Jeremy Cox’s cinematography, sound design, and striking creature makeup and VFX.
  • Frequent critiques fault a thin, repetitive midsection and an exposition-heavy climax, with some outlets labeling the film a misfire.
  • Early aggregation placed the Rotten Tomatoes score in the low 40s before rising toward the low 50s, and industry reporting suggests PVOD could follow in roughly a month based on NEON’s recent patterns.
