Oz Perkins has been on quite the roll in recent years. 2024\u2019s\u00a0Longlegs<\/a>\u00a0was a huge hit, which he quickly followed with\u00a0The Monkey<\/a>\u00a0earlier in 2025. And before the year is through, he\u2019ll be unleashing another new horror \u2013\u00a0Keeper<\/a>, which has been teased in a series of cryptic trailers. You never quite know what to expect in one of Perkins\u2019 films, and yet\u00a0Keeper\u00a0looks particularly mysterious.<\/p>\n

Speaking to\u00a0Empire, the filmmaker revealed a little bit more info. This one is all about the horror of relationships, channelled through Tatiana Maslany\u2019s Liz and Rossif Sutherland\u2019s Malcolm, whose romantic trip into the woods goes awry. \u201cThere are certain hinges in any relationship. It\u2019s our first time meeting the parents, it\u2019s our first time [out] in the country. It just focuses on one of those, and it gets pretty ragged,\u201d Perkins explains. Could it even be a bit of a creature feature? \u201cSomething lives at the cabin,\u201d the director says. \u201cOf course it does. It\u2019s been there a minute, and it\u2019s had its way with lots of people before it [has] its way with Liz and Malcolm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond\u00a0Keeper, Perkins already has his next project underway, the recently-announced\u00a0The Young People<\/a>. But for now \u2013 and for the second time in 2025 \u2013 get ready for another full-on Oz Perkins experience. \u201cI\u2019m taking the opportunity to examine, \u2018What\u2019s the worst version of a man in a relationship,\u2019\u201d he says, \u201c\u2018and how does [Liz] bring her own stuff to it?\u2019 I think that\u00a0Keeper\u00a0created an opportunity to find the monster in a relationship.\u201d Time for that monster to come out.<\/p>\n
