Longlegs & The Monkey Director Debuts Trailer For New Horror Starring MCU Actor

Osgood Perkins has made mᴀssive waves in the last two years with his horror movies Longlegs and The Monkey, and he will soon release Keeper, which just got a new trailer. Longlegs holds an 86% Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score while The Monkey is at 77%; The Monkey also became a streaming hit upon its release on Hulu.

Meanwhile, Keeper is slated for a theatrical release on Nov. 14, 2025. Keeper stars She-Hulk and Orphan Black‘s Tatiana Maslany and Murder in a Small Town‘s Rossif Sutherland. The new movie follows a couple who retreat to a secluded cabin, which turns out to be viciously haunted, prompting a confrontation and fight for survival.

Keeper‘s initial teaser from several weeks ago was especially mysterious, but the new full trailer hints more at the movie’s plot and core themes. The video has a unique format, essentially repeating its spiral into haunted house terrors twice, starting with the same blissfully romantic scene both times to illustrate both “Liz” (Maslany) and “Malcom’s” (Sutherland) perspectives.

Both main characters get a chance to narrate and ask the same questions: “Why does it always have to end? Is there any way to keep love alive? Do I even know this man/woman?The тιтle Keeper refers to the saying that someone is “a keeper,a romantic partner who is great and worth going the distance with.

This movie looks as though it will be questioning whether one can ever really know a partner, reflected in the history of the cabin’s residents. Check out the new trailer for Keeper below:

One would ᴀssume that Perkins is gearing up for another hit horror release. Maslany is returning to collaborate with the director again after starring in The Monkey, which only came out earlier this year. While Perkins’ movies haven’t quite reached the same heights of critical acclaim as Sinners or Weapons, you never know when a project like this could completely overturn the horror genre.

But Perkins and his collaborators now have decent word-of-mouth following The Monkey‘s streaming release, and have kicked off a good marketing campaign that could make Keeper an even bigger release. Now that this trailer has been fully released, it may be shown ahead of Weapons and other similar movies in theaters, attracting genre fans.

Our Take On Keeper’s Trailer

Keeper‘s especially distinct trailer has me intrigued about the structure of this movie, which looks as though it may favor a Glᴀss Onion-style form of nonlinear storytelling to emphasize the two points of view. The trailer on its own proves that this is the perfect way to tell a story focusing on navigating a romantic relationship, with some horror tropes to elevate the emotional stakes.

It’s fascinating that this movie is coming out so soon after Together, which also explores themes of conflict in a relationship, and I look forward to seeing how Keeper may be compared to real-life married couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie’s project. But mostly, this movie will probably direct even more attention to Oz Perkins, who is swiftly becoming a staple horror filmmaker in Hollywood.
