	Media	Author	Review
		Ross Bonaime Collider	"Perkins and Maslany do their best to keep this story engaging and uncomfortable in how they present this idea, but they’re let down by Lepard’s unsatisfying screenplay (...) Rating: 5 (out of 10)"
		Jesse Hassenger The Guardian	"Osgood Perkins takes us on a dark journey to the woods in a creepy and visually inventive nightmare with a killer lead performance (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tom Jorgensen IGN	"The movie benefits from a brawny leading turn from Tatiana Maslany and some great aesthetics, but it lacks the specificity or focus to get the most out of them (...) Rating: 5 (out of 10)"
		Jordan Bassett NME	"When 'Keeper' finally reveals itself to be a run-of-the-mill horror with some underwhelming spooks, its artful presentation feels like even more of a cheat (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"Gorgeously Creepy, Narratively Unsatisfying Relationship Horror"
		Bill Bria SlashFilm	"While it remains to be seen what general audiences will think of Perkins' new experiment, I have a feeling that horror buffs will at least appreciate its ambition and variation."
		Nikki Baughan Screendaily	"It’s certainly got the Perkins style and plenty of genuine chills, but the journey is more satisfying than the destination."
		Alison Foreman IndieWire	"Not Even the Great Tatiana Maslany Can Save Oz Perkins from His Worst Movie Yet (...) Fractured filmmaking and palpable insecurity ooze from the "Longlegs" director's new nightmare."
		Jacob Oller AV Club	"It’s not scary, nothing awful or notable enough to memory-hole or gossip with your friends about later"
		Kristy Puchko Mashable	"Osgood Perkins and Tatiana Maslany deliver a scorching horror that's uniquely feminine (...) An emotionally intelligent and joltingly scary portrait of gaslighting"
		Zachary Lee rogerebert.com	"While 'Keeper' is not short on visual style or atmospheric tension, ultimately, it’s a tedious genre exercise undone by an undercooked narrative and its allergy to mystery (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Alexander Mooney Slant	"Keeper is a latter-day Perkins horror film through and through: assiduously advertised, sloppily scripted, stylistically constipated, plated with sarcasm, and never, ever frightening. (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"It has disturbing scenes, but mostly it feels like the director of "Longlegs" projecting the random horror mixtape of his brain onto the screen."
		Barry Levitt The Daily Beast	"A surreal, endlessly creepy exploration of love and desire, with a terrific turn from Tatiana Maslany, makes for an exciting and unpredictable departure in Osgood Perkins’ oeuvre. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Nadira Goffe Slate	" Despite a great performance from Maslany, 'Keeper' struggles to remain innovative and definitely doesn’t stick the landing"
		William Bibbiani The Wrap	"A slapdash effort from an otherwise great artist, a scribble that accidentally wound up center stage in an art show. You can see the confident brush strokes but there isn’t a grand design"
		Tim Grierson Los Angeles Times	"Eventually, Perkins has to reveal what is going on. And it’s here that 'Keeper' starts to unravel, the arrestingly pristine visuals and hypnotic rhythms giving way to contrived explanations"
		Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"One engaging and original grim fairy tale that bides its time getting under your skin as romance curdles into one fucked up nightmare. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Leigh Paatsch Telegraph	"While this creepy cabin-in-the-woods affair is creatively deceptive and darkly amusing at all times, there is also a feeling that the movie is sometimes being far too enigmatic for its own good (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Rosie Fletcher Radio Times	"Hit and miss overall, but this cements Perkins as a bold voice in horror (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
