NEON is hosting a one-day nationwide theatrical marathon on November 13, featuring three horror films, including an early screening of Osgood Perkins’ latest movie, Keeper, ahead of its official release on November 14. This special event will showcase the films Longlegs, The Monkey, and Keeper in a single ticket experience for fans across multiple U.S. cities.
A Triple Feature of Chilling Horror Films
The marathon will begin with Longlegs, a 2024 horror starring Nic Cage, exploring a satanic panic theme. Next is The Monkey, a hypersplatter horror-comedy adapted from a Stephen King story. The night concludes with Keeper, which stars Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland as a couple seeking a secluded anniversary escape at a remote cabin. Unexpected events unfold when Malcolm (Sutherland) abruptly leaves the cabin for the city, leaving Liz (Maslany) alone to confront a sinister evil lurking in the isolated setting:
“When Malcolm (Sutherland) suddenly returns to the city, Liz (Maslany) finds herself isolated and in the presence of an unspeakable evil that unveils the cabin’s horrifying secrets.”

Osgood Perkins’ Vision Behind Keeper
Much about Keeper remains mysterious, encouraging audiences to see the film early at this marathon. Perkins described the film to Fango’s Angel Melanson as rooted in the fear of people—both strangers and those closest to us. The story explores the paradox of intimacy and alienation, weaving themes of trust, fear, and desire within close relationships:
“People with bad intentions, sure, but also the person you share a bed with or no longer share a bed with. Ultimately, it centers on the duality that is both the fear and desire of being known and knowing. These notions of unease around the people in our lives, the people we are intimate with, is the framework of this movie.”
— Osgood Perkins, Director of Keeper
