Keeper is a 2025 American surrealist horror film written by Nick Lepard and directed by Osgood Perkins. The film stars Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland.
Keeper was released in Australia on November 13, 2025, and in the United States by Neon on November 14.
Liz and Malcolm head to a secluded cabin for their anniversary weekend. Liz, alone after Malcolm suddenly returns to the city, is approached by an evil entity that unveils the cabin's secrets. [2]
In May 2024, Keeper was announced as a film for sale at the Cannes Film Market, with Osgood Perkins directing from a screenplay written by Nick Lepard. Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland were attached to star in the film, and Chris Ferguson and Jesse Savath were producing for Oddfellows. [3] Keeper marks the third collaboration between Neon and Perkins after Longlegs and The Monkey . The film had wrapped production by July 2024, [4] with principal photography taking place in Vancouver. [5] Jeremy Cox serves as the cinematographer, [6] while Edo Van Breemen composed the score. [7]
The film was shot in its entirety while work on The Monkey was held up due to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes. Several of The Monkey's cast and crew in Canada were trying to find ways to keep working, so Perkins and Ferguson found a Canadian writer who was not part of the Writers Guild of America to write the script. They also hired Canadian actors who could waive their SAG-AFTRA status in order to film. [5]
At the 2024 Cannes Film Market, distribution rights were sold to Neon in United States and Elevation Pictures in Canada. Neon also purchased the worldwide rights as it expanded into international distribution sales. [8] The film was released theatrically on November 14, 2025. [9] [10] The film was released a day prior in Australia. [11] It was originally scheduled to be released on October 3, 2025. [12]
