Osgood Perkins’ latest horror feature Keeper is set to arrive in cinemas on 14 November, with its newly released trailer offering a first look at Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland caught in a relationship unravelling under supernatural pressure.
The film follows Liz (Maslany) and Malcolm (Sutherland) as they embark on what should be a romantic anniversary trip to a remote cabin. When Malcolm abruptly returns to the city, Liz is left behind, only to encounter a malevolent force tied to the cabin’s past. As isolation sets in, her stay transforms into a test of survival and trust, pulling her into secrets that refuse to remain hidden.
The promotional campaign has leaned heavily into atmosphere, pairing voiceover musings about love and masks with the unsettling refrain, “I don’t like you anymore.” In a further unsettling touch, marketing materials incorporate lyrics from Peggy Lee’s “I Don’t Want To Play In Your Yard,” a 1940s tune reimagined here as a marker of estrangement and menace.
Perkins, whose previous films Longlegs and The Monkey reinforced his reputation for meticulous and unsettling storytelling, directs from a screenplay by Nick Lepard. The project is backed by Black Bear, with production from Chris Ferguson and Jesse Savath of Oddfellows. Maslany also takes on an executive producer role alongside Marlaina Mah, Noah Segal, Laurie May, Brian Kavanaugh Jones, Fred Berger, Peter Micelli, John Hegeman, Vince Totino and Bonner Bellew.
For Maslany, Keeper continues a run of projects that blend genre and character-driven drama, following her acclaimed turn in Orphan Black and more recent horror credits including Perkins’ The Monkey. Sutherland, meanwhile, adds another unsettling role to his résumé after appearances in Possessor and Orphan: First Kill.
The release comes during a prolific period for Perkins, who has carved out a distinct place in modern horror with works such as The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House and Gretel & Hansel. His films often combine intimate psychological tension with stark imagery, and Keeper appears poised to continue this approach while exploring questions of intimacy, trust and deception through a horror lens.
Keeper will debut in cinemas nationwide on 14 November, watch the trailer below.
