Osgood Perkins’ ‘Keeper’ Opens in Theaters With Eerie Style and Divided Early Reviews

Early reviews spotlight Tatiana Maslany’s gripping lead turn over a script some find thin.

Overview

  • Keeper opens in U.S. theaters on November 14 following November 13 preview events as part of NEON’s secrecy-heavy rollout.
  • Tatiana Maslany stars as Liz opposite Rossif Sutherland’s Malcolm in a remote-cabin setup that increasingly isolates its lead character.
  • The film leans into genre-shifting ambiguity, with critics noting unsettling imagery, precise framing, and practical creature effects.
  • Running 99 minutes, the feature is directed by Osgood Perkins from a screenplay by Nick Lepard.
  • Critical response is split, with outlets such as the Guardian, Collider, NME, and IndieWire praising atmosphere and Maslany’s performance while faulting pacing, narrative thinness, and a muted payoff.
