Osgood Perkins' Keeper Opens in Theaters as Early Reviews Split on Experimental Horror

Early notices highlight an impressionistic approach that some critics find muddled.

Overview

  • Keeper arrives in theaters on November 14 with a 99‑minute runtime, directed by Osgood Perkins and starring Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland.
  • Variety describes the film as an experimental, impressionistic serial‑killer drama whose surreal touches feel incoherent.
  • Little White Lies criticizes the movie as rushed and predictable, faulting an expository payoff and underdeveloped ideas.
  • Koimoi reports a 65% Rotten Tomatoes score from 26 critics at publication time, below Perkins’ Longlegs (86%) and The Monkey (77%).
  • The release continues Perkins’ rapid run of horror features following last year’s Longlegs and The Monkey.
