Keeper 2025

Keeper (2025) is an American surrealist horror and psychological thriller film directed by Osgood Perkins (known for Longlegs and Gretel & Hansel) and written by Nick Lepard. The plot follows Liz (Tatiana Maslany), who joins her boyfriend of one month, Malcolm (Rossif Sutherland), for a romantic weekend getaway at his remote, secluded family cabin. What begins as a simple couple’s retreat quickly devolves into a nightmare when Malcolm abruptly returns to the city, leaving Liz alone to contend with the house's sinister secrets, including an unseen, ancient, and evil entity that seems tied to the cabin's gruesome lore and Malcolm's family history. The film explores themes of isolation, inherited trauma, romantic relationships turning abusive, and the "ritual sacrifice" involved in entering a new, all-consuming relationship, with Liz's descent into terror and her struggle for self-empowerment forming the core of the psychological horror. The cast also features Kett Turton as Darren, Malcolm's cousin, and Eden Weiss as Minka. The film, released by NEON, hit US theaters on November 14, 2025, and has had a financially disappointing run, especially compared to Perkins’ previous horror hits. The box office figures show a weak domestic opening weekend of approximately $2.5 million, contributing to a current worldwide gross of around $4.45 million against a reported modest budget, with its low performance being attributed to minimal promotion from the distributor and a crowded release slate. Critically, the reception has been mixed, leaning negative; the film holds a 49% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes with a consensus stating it is "More a collection of unsettling moments than an altogether cohesive story, Keeper is too half-baked to have much staying power despite a committed turn from Tatiana Maslany." Critics generally praise Maslany's compelling and multifaceted performance as a saving grace, but cite the film's slow-burn pace, lack of cohesive narrative, and heavy-handed exposition in the final act as major flaws, with the film receiving a disappointing D+ CinemaScore from audiences. Regarding streaming, the film is currently still in its initial theatrical and premium VOD window; it is not yet available on any subscription streaming service for free. However, given its distribution by NEON, the film is widely expected to become available to stream exclusively on Hulu in the US, following the typical post-theatrical window for the distributor, with a likely streaming release date in early 2026. For now, it is available to purchase as a digital download on services like Fandango At Home. Read More
