Keeper arrives with the weight of Oz Perkins’ recent success behind it, and many expected another strong step from the filmmaker. His work with Neon on Longlegs and The Monkey put him on a steady rise, with both films released only six months apart, helping to build his name in modern horror. Keeper moves in a different direction, yet still carries his familiar style as it reaches theaters tomorrow, on November 14.

Every filmmaker experiences titles that do not land as strongly as others. Keeper may be one of those moments for Perkins or simply a step that sits below his recent high points. It still has supporters, and his next film may lift him again.
