SPOILER ALERT!!! AS WITH ALL SPECIAL EDITIONS WE DISCUSS ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING

Osgood Perkins is one of the best horror directors going today. He has an eye for horror and knows how to deliver scares and an engaging story. Keeper is no different as its character driven plot builds to some of the best jump scares of the year. The mood will draw you in and the setting is perfect for its tale.

Which is not to say that the storytelling is not without its problems. The pacing may be an issue for some as it takes a while for the plot to actually develop. It is not a long movie, but the first third of Keeper is a little too methodical. But it is the ending that is a bigger issue. The exposition dumps and vagueness will definitely turn some off.

One thing that we had no problem with was the performance of Tatiana Maslany. She has done some amazing work in genre cinema and is the heartbeat of Keeper. So much so that if the same story is told without her, it would be nowhere near as good. The movie does a lot right, but she is the highlight.

The end result is a whole lot of good with some very noticeable bad. What does that mean for the entire film? We talk about the direction of Perkins, its patient and frustrating storytelling, the acting of the small cast, the over the top ending, and more as we try to make sense of Keeper.
