A seemingly idyllic cabin getaway takes a haunting turn in the first trailer for horror auteur Osgood Perkins‘ forthcoming pic Keeper. Starring Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland, the two-minute clip teases a relationship on the brink, influenced by the unfolding wickedness around the couple.
“Why does it always have to end? Is there any way to keep love alive? Do I even know this man? Is it his face I see when I close my eyes? Or only a mask that he’s wearing? Always there, looking back at me. I think he’s a keeper,” Maslany’s Liz narrates, before her partner Malcolm (Sutherland) repeats the words from his perspective.
Billed as a “dark trip” from Perkins — who is coming off of the dual successes of Longlegs and The Monkey — the film features the tagline: “I don’t like you anymore.” The promotional material for the Neon project also borrows lines from Peggy Lee’s “I Don’t Want To Play In Your Yard,” featuring lyrics: “You can’t holler down our rain barrel, / You can’t climb our apple tree, / I don’t wanna play in your yard, / If you can’t be good to me.”
Per the official synopsis, Keeper follows a couple as they escape for a romantic anniversary weekend at a secluded cabin. When Malcolm suddenly returns to the city, Liz finds herself isolated and in the presence of an unspeakable evil that unveils the cabin’s horrifying secrets.
Premiering its first teaser last month, the film is set to bow in theaters Nov. 14. Helmed by Perkins from a script by Nick Lepard, the film is produced by Chris Ferguson and Jesse Savath of Oddfellows. Executive producers include Maslany, Oddfellows’ Marlaina Mah, Noah Segal and Laurie May for Elevation Pictures, Brian Kavanaugh Jones, Fred Berger and Peter Micelli on behalf of Range Media Partners, John Hegeman and Vince Totino for Wayward Entertainment and Welcome Villain’s Bonner Bellew.
