His latest, Keeper, has been released with an interesting gimmick in that there hasn’t been much in the way of William Castle-style theatrics from NEON’s marketing team (cryptic teases coupled with heaps of praise from modern masters of the genre like Guillermo del Toro isn’t akin to, says strapping a heart monitor to Maika Monroe) and wasn’t screened for press* ironically enough, this is probably because the […]
