From Bloody Disgusting: No two Mickey Keating films are alike; the filmmaker consistently explores different corners of horror and influences with every production. From neo-western horror to psychological to sci-fi horror and beyond, Keating seems uninterested in retreading the same ground. His latest, Offseason, takes on cosmic horror.
In Offseason, “Upon receiving a mysterious letter that her mother’s gravesite has been vandalized, Marie quickly returns to the isolated offshore island where her late mother is buried. When she arrives, she discovers that the island is closing for the offseason with the bridges raised until Spring, leaving her stranded.
“One strange interaction with the local townspeople after another, Marie soon realizes that something is not quite right in this small town. She must unveil the mystery behind her mother’s troubled past to make it out alive.”
RLJE Films and Shudder will release the horror film in theaters and on VOD and Digital on March 11, 2022. The cast is led by Jocelin Donahue (The House of the Devil, Doctor Sleep). Joe Swanberg (You’re Next, The Sacrament) and Richard Brake (3 from Hell) also star.
Ahead of the release, we look back at Keating’s horror films and how he switches up the aesthetic and style for every single one.
…
Ritual establishes the core constant to every Keating horror movie: Larry Fessenden appears in every single one.
In the Shade is a new play with music based in fact,
told through the interconnected lives of three women writers –
Jean Stafford, Elizabeth Hardwick, and Caroline Blackwood –
each of whom was married for a time to the poet Robert Lowell – and their children.
Lowell suffered from severe manic-depressive illness, with over a dozen major hospitalizations.
Lowell was also a pioneer in writing openly about his own mental illness,
helping to begin a process of destigmatization that continues to this day.

For more than 40 years, Larry Fessenden has not only reinvented and reinvigorated the horror and fantasy genre through his contemporary re-imaginings of mythic archetypes—the chimera, the vampire and the Leviathan, the Wendigo and the Modern Prometheus—he has also, as the founder in 1985 of the scrappy, resolutely independent New York production company Glass Eye Pix, nurtured the early careers of a diverse array of talents including Kelly Reichardt (River of Grass and Wendy and Lucy), Ti West (The House of the Devil and The Innkeepers), Rick Alverson (The Comedy), Graham Reznick (I Can See You), Jim Mickle (Stake Land), Ilya Chaiken (Liberty Kid), and James Felix McKenney (Automatonsand Satan Hates You).
Celebrating his extraordinary career as a writer, director, producer, actor, cinematographer, editor, and songwriter, this major retrospective of Larry Fessenden and Glass Eye Pix presents more than 20 feature films screened in MoMA’s theaters, as well as an additional selection of features and shorts streaming on our Virtual Cinema platform (available to MoMA members across the US). Perhaps the true terror—and the liberating promise—of Fessenden’s work, which includes Habit (1997), No Telling (1991), Wendigo (2000), The Last Winter (2007), and Depraved (2019), is the extent to which the world today, our so-called Anthropocene epoch, has come to mirror his own uncanny visions of existential crisis: of ecological collapse and worldwide plague, historical trauma and amnesia, the dehumanizing effects of technology, and a profound alienation from the animal world and ourselves through a failure of the empathic imagination.
