Perkins failed again, but for some reason I want him to try again
I like Perkins' work, I mean it; but for some reason, his films never quite gel. There were some very well-executed elements here, mainly the great atmosphere Perkins creates in the cabin.
We also have surreal elements that I quite enjoyed, and a couple of creatures with a wonderful design. So, what went wrong?
Well, it's boring. I there’s not much explanation; it's a film that's very confusing at the beginning, and what ultimately dooms it is that by the time the story gets interesting, your interest is nonexistent or you're already asleep. And, well, the scares aren't very effective despite everything.
I genuinely like the ideas behind this film, so it's a shame that it doesn't work for most of its runtime. Other things worth highlighting are its cinematography, which strives to be full of interesting shots, and succeeds; visually, every shot is interesting and there’s always something interesting to watch at screen, and some shots are truly wonderful. And Tatiana Maslany does a great job and is undoubtedly one of the best things about Keeper.
