Keeper

If you’ve watched enough horror movies, you’ll know that going to a remote house in the woods is never a good idea.

But that’s exactly what Liz (Tatiana Maslany) and Malcolm (Rossif Sutherland), her boyfriend of a year, do in Osgood Perkins’s supernatural film Keeper.

Liz joins the doctor at his remote holiday home for the weekend, but is left on her own when he has to go back into the city for a patient emergency. During that time, Liz begins to realise that something is not quite right and she might not be alone in the house.
