Free Them from Evil: A New Perversion Fairy Tale Created by Anthony Perkins' Son
A couple arrives at a cabin in a dense forest in upstate New York, leading to a nightmare experience.
In 'Keeper,' directed by Osgood 'Oz' Perkins, the film unfolds with a couple of lovers who journey to a remote cabin in the woods of northern New York, only to find themselves enveloped in a nightmare scenario. The movie, projected for release in 2025, showcases Perkins' ongoing exploration of contemporary horror themes, which he has been delving into for several years. With a cast including Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland, it promises to be a unique interpretation in the horror genre.
Oz Perkins, well-known in the horror landscape, continues to build on his reputation with this latest offering. He previously revisited the 1970s horror vibe in 'Longlegs' and blended splatter elements with parody in 'The Monkey', showing a range that suggests he is deeply influenced by his heritage, being the son of Anthony Perkins, a famous horror actor. The expectation from audiences is that this film will blend traditional horror tropes with Perkins' individual creative touch, possibly revisiting the unsettling themes often found in his father’s filmography.
The movie, produced by Diamond Films and featuring a team of professional creatives, is already generating curiosity despite its release still being years away. Its classification is currently unavailable, suggesting it might challenge conventional horror classifications when it eventually premieres. Perkins' works have often been met with mixed reviews, and this time it seems no different, with early impressions indicating a potentially average reception, emphasizing the peculiar nature of horror films and their appeal to niche audiences.
