Keeper

"Keeper" is a weak horror thriller that certainly has the Oz Perkins style and plenty of genuine chills, but the journey is more satisfying than the destination.

Me pareció una película regular. Tiene una idea interesante y algunos momentos que funcionan, pero en general no logra destacar demasiado. El ritmo a veces se siente irregular y la historia no termina de aprovechar todo su potencial. No es terrible, pero tampoco memorable.

After the commercial impact of Longlegs, Osgood Perkins began to occupy a curious space within contemporary horror: that of an “auteur” director who divides audiences, yet has found enough backing to continue creating with creative freedom. His new film, Keeper, arrives surrounded by expectation. The premise seems promising: a couple decides to spend a few days in an isolated cabin to celebrate her birthday. After the husband leaves, the character played by Tatiana Maslany remains behind and begins to face a sinister presence connected to the cabin’s past — and possibly to the relationship **** theory, this is fertile ground. Isolation, a toxic relationship, hidden past, folk horror. Elements that, when handled well, can generate a suffocating and intense experience. The problem is that Keeper rarely manages to turn these ideas into something cohesive. What could have been a disturbing study of emotional abuse and paranoia becomes a scattered film that flirts with symbolism but fails to sustain its own narrative.Keeper had all the ingredients to be an unsettling examination of toxic relationships and emotional isolation, using horror as its language. Instead, it delivers an uneven experience that begins with promise but loses itself in its own **** production context may help explain some of its issues, but it does not change the final result. The film feels as though it needed more time, more revision, and greater care in shaping its **** the end, it comes across as a project made in haste, sustained more by the director’s recent reputation than by the strength of the work itself. Perkins remains a filmmaker with a distinct identity, but Keeper makes it clear that style alone cannot carry a film. Without a solid foundation, even the most interesting ideas dissolve — leaving behind a pretentious, fragile, and easily forgettable feature.

Osgood Perkins ran out of ideas. 'Keeper' is an amalgamation of clichés and nonsense that forcibly attempts to comment on cycles of misogynistic abuse through a clumsy story about a couple whose vacation in a secluded cabin turns into a predictable nightmare. The exploration of this relationship is nonexistent; instead, the film throws gruesome images at the viewer repeatedly in an attempt to shock. The result is a pathetic attempt at “elevated horror”.

Very boring movie, when finally somewhat action starts and it gets close to being scary it solves itself also as fast and ends..
