Our take
Keeper is an R-rated horror film about Liz alone at a remote anniversary cabin after Malcolm leaves. Expect creeping dread, an unspeakable evil, and a twisty reveal about the cabin's past. Dialogue includes frequent f-word outbursts, romantic anniversary setup, and a nudity reference in a creepy story. Wine is mentioned casually. Older teens who handle psychological horror; too intense for younger viewers
Uplifting themes
Brief encouragement to keep trying amid mostly bleak horror No positive role models found in this title
Story (may spoil tone)
Liz and Malcolm escape for a romantic anniversary weekend at a secluded cabin. When Malcolm suddenly returns to the city, Liz finds herself isolated and in the presence of an unspeakable evil that reveals the cabin's horrifying secrets.

Talk after watching
- Liz starts the weekend excited and ends up trapped. How does isolation change fear?
- Horror often hides danger in familiar places like a romantic getaway. What felt safe at first?
