finished watching Keeper 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
Shocking disappointment from Osgood Perkins. I genuinely consider the man to be one of modern horror cinema's premiere talents. This doesn't feel like something he made. Perhaps because he didn't write it? That's only happened once before. The plot is unexpectedly basic, dull, and unimaginative. Altogether lacking the originality creative frights of the director's other works. There's a welcome sense of weirdness, an incredible performance from Tatiana Maslany, and my goodness when the monsters finally get brought into the light are they suitably freaky that all act as factors that made me wish I enjoyed this more. Unfortunately, the utter lack of terror and pacing that moves at a snail's pace pulled me out of the experience. You can tell the incessant, odd stylistic visual flourishes in nearly every seen were Perkins way of trying to inject some life into a script that I believe he too could tell was more boring than scary.
5/10
