Osgood Perkins<\/a> is getting into the relationship-horror film<\/a> subgenre. The auteur, who recently helmed both \u201cLonglegs\u201d and \u201cThe Monkey\u201d for NEON, is set to release his third film with the distributor in less than a 16-month span. Perkins also became the first ever filmmaker to land a first-look deal<\/a> with the acclaimed studio, as announced in May 2025. <\/p>\n

For \u201cKeeper<\/a>,\u201d though, writer\/director Perkins is just helming it: Nick Lepard wrote the script, with the one-location horror film shot during the 2023 strikes between the \u201cLonglegs\u201d and \u201cThe Monkey\u201d productions. The logline for \u201cKeeper\u201d reads: \u201cDuring an anniversary getaway at a remote cabin, a wife (Tatiana Maslany) is left alone after her husband (Rossif Sutherland) departs, only to confront a sinister presence that exposes the cabin\u2019s chilling past.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"George<\/a> \"Tura Satana\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Maslany also starred in Perkins\u2019 \u201cThe Monkey,\u201d which offered a sneak peek at \u201cKeeper\u201d in a post-credits scene<\/a>. Perkins told IndieWire<\/a> that \u201cKeeper\u201d is a \u201cbeautiful, beautiful movie\u201d that has a \u201cgrown-up, kind of relationship horror\u201d aspect. Perkins raved that actress Maslany is \u201cjust the greatest. She\u2019s so infinite. I\u2019m so lucky to have her.\u201d <\/p>\n

And that wasn\u2019t the only stroke of luck on the project: \u201cKeeper\u201d was shot as an indie during the strikes. \u201cIt was made during the [Writers Guild] strike, so I couldn\u2019t write it,\u201d Perkins said. \u201cThis lovely Canadian non-union guy [Nick Lepard] wrote this movie and we sort of figured out this thing.\u201d <\/p>\n

He continued of his career, \u201cI\u2019ve landed myself in a supremely lucky position where all of my movies get to be one of one, right? I think that\u2019s almost expected now, at least after \u2018Longlegs\u201d into \u2018The Monkey.\u2019 I think everybody\u2019s getting, \u2018Oh right, he\u2019s not going to hit the same beat twice, I don\u2019t know what to expect.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Perkins added to IndieWire that \u2018Keeper\u2019 will be similar to his \u201czoomed out\u201d approach to the horror genre. While \u201cLonglegs\u201d was his \u201cpop version\u201d of horror, \u201cThe Monkey\u201d was a comedy about death; \u201cKeeper\u201d is a meditation on relationships, much like fellow NEON release \u201cTogether.\u201d<\/a> <\/p>\n

NEON will premiere \u201cKeeper\u201d in theaters November 14.
