THE KEEPER (2003)

PAUL LYNCH

Plot

After Gina is attacked and her boyfriend murdered she understandably decides to leave town and is given a lift to the nearest bus station by kindly policeman Krebbs. Unfortunately Gina has hopped from the proverbial frying pan into the fire, because Krebbs is a deranged psycho obsessive, with a predilection for "collecting" pretty young women and caging them up in the cellar of his house. The Keeper plays out in a similar way to John Fowles ‘The Collector', but with less of the acute psychological claustrophobia and more breathless running around. Entertaining, if a bit daft.
