I had mixed feelings after watching this film. Praise from horror directors Guillermo del Toro and James Wan played a big part in my decision to watch ‘Keeper’, specifically their comments about how we're in for a wild ride, which made me add this film to my watch list, but let's take it one step at a time.
Plot
Liz and Malcolm are a couple in love who met at an art exhibition. After some time, Liz and Malcolm choose a cabin in the woods as their honeymoon destination, but instead of fun and joy, they experience far from the best emotions in the house.
For the most part, ‘Keeper’ has no screamers, and there are few scary or frightening moments in it. For over an hour, the film slowly leads you to the dénouement, and in about half an hour, it reveals all its cards, after which I would describe the rest of the film as a cross between films such as Viy (1967) and The Key to Every Door (2005).
Conclusion
Surely the horror genre is completely different now, and what used to be scary now seems ridiculous, and sometimes even makes you smile. But I hasten to inform you that there will be scary moments in Keeper, not from classic monsters and ghouls, but from quite attractive girls shown in close-up on the screen.
Keeper will undoubtedly find its audience, just like the main character when she tastes the cake: it looks fine, but the taste is so-so.
