Can You Survive This Mind-Mangling Osgood Perkins Triple-Feature?


The day before Keeper, Osgood Perkins‘ latest film—”a dark trip,” according to its marketing—hits theaters, fans can get an early glimpse as part of a triple feature highlighting Perkins’ dark trips from the past. Can your brain and sanity survive watching Longlegs, The Monkey, and Keeper in one sitting (and for just one ticket price)? Neon invites you to try.

The screenings will take place November 13; you can check here to see if a theater near you is participating, as well as find showtimes and ticket info.

Let’s break down what you’ll be getting yourself into. Longlegs stars Maika Monroe as a young FBI agent who’s brought in to assist on a perplexing case involving a gruesome serial killer played by Nicolas Cage. As we soon learn, she’s no ordinary agent, and he’s no ordinary killer—and there are all manner of oddities involved, including some truly distressing dolls.

Another doll, of sorts, anchors The Monkey, which is based on the Stephen King tale about a hideous toy that causes chaos—specifically for a family that includes twin brothers (Theo James in a dual role) who grow up on different but equally dysfunctional paths as a result. It’s also a horror comedy, in contrast to the more somber Longlegs, and features some of the most hilarious yet agonizing death scenes in recent memory.

And then: Keeper. What the hell is Keeper about? We know it’s a relationship drama with supernatural elements, but not much else; it stars The Monkey‘s Tatiana Maslany alongside Rossif Sutherland. Presumably, it will also follow the grand Perkins tradition of making you want to shriek and cover your eyes multiple times while watching.

If you just want to catch it as a standalone, Keeper hits theaters November 14.
