All 5 Osgood Perkins Movies to Watch After 'Keeper', Ranked by Rotten Tomatoes

Osgood Perkins, the son of the legendary Anthony Perkins, not only continues the tradition of psychological horror, but also creates his own cinematic language.

His movies are a slow, relentless descent into paranoia and past trauma. They are a special kind of horror that stems not from gore but from an oppressive atmosphere and a sense of impending, inescapable doom.

5. 'I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House', 2016

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 59%

A young caregiver moves into the home of an elderly writer to keep it in order and constantly hears whispers in the walls. Lily tries to unravel the connection between the paranormal activity and the writer's books, which she avoids reading because thrillers make her uneasy.

I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House is still Osgood's most unique work and is unlikely to appeal to a wide audience.

Instead, it is a soothing and melancholy reflection on the worlds of the dead and living and the pull of death.

4. 'Gretel & Hansel', 2020

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 63%

Gretel has loved the story of the girl in the pink cap who discovers magical powers since childhood. Now almost an adult and having failed to find work as a servant, Gretel and her younger brother, Hansel, find themselves homeless.

While wandering through the forest, suffering from hunger, Gretel and Hansel stumbled upon a suspicious hut. They discovered a table set with food, as if someone had been waiting for them.

Even from the title, the balance of power in the Brothers Grimm fairy tale shifts. The story is now primarily about Gretel's experience, not Hansel's.

3. 'The Monkey', 2025

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 77%

Twin brothers Bill and Hal grew up without a father. The only thing left behind by Captain Petey is a closet filled with junk, including a pilot's uniform and a monkey with a drum.

The malfunctioning wind-up toy has its own rules and still works, but as soon as the mechanism is wound and the music begins, someone inevitably dies.

Bitter experience teaches the brothers that predicting the next target is impossible. Hal realizes that the devilish monkey must be dealt with immediately, while his brother is fascinated by the idea of unlimited power.

2. 'The Blackcoat's Daughter', 2015

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 77%

At the end of the winter term, not all of the students at Catholic School have parents who come to pick them up. Rose and Kat, accompanied by the nuns, are waiting for the lingering and unsettling solitude to end.

Meanwhile, Joan – a taciturn passenger in need of help – is trying to reach the school from somewhere in the bleak distance.

For now, The Blackcoat's Daughter remains the most poignant and touching film in Perkins' filmography. It is not the intrigue that captivates and touches, but rather how palpable and tactile the emptiness around and within the soul becomes.

1. 'Longlegs', 2024

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 86%

After capturing a criminal and experiencing intuitive breakthroughs bordering on psychic powers, Agent Lee Harker is assigned a cold case involving the serial murder of families with daughters born on the 14th, ritualistic elements, and no leads.

While a David Fincher–style detective story might have begun here, Oz Perkins remains true to himself, conducting a more psychotherapeutic investigation into inherited patterns.
