TI H The director cared about mood and interesting visuals. He tried. E for effort. But the overall product felt choppy to me--even for 1983. The less-than-stellar visual effects were not nearly as disappointing as the irritating soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. The sex scene made little sense and added nothing. I think this interesting idea for a horror movie would do well if remade with a decent budget. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review David W I absolutely love this bizarre horror curio. It's a cult classic in my book that's dripping with atmosphere and has a truly fantastic score by Tangerine Dream. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review David A The Keep is one of those movies you either love or hate. Atmosphere, a great score by Tangerine Dream, and a brilliant cast make this film one you either have to see or will be disappointed by. It's confusing storyline which probably would have made more sense if the film wasn't cut down to 90 min from the original almost 3 hours. Hard to say what was cut out. I remember renting this movie back when it was on Vhs in the early 80's and fell in love with it. But for others, I can see why it would be incomprehensible to most. Unless you're familiar with the book it was based on, you'll have a difficult time trying to piece what is happening. I won't go into the storyline as it has been told briefly in other reviews. For some bizarre cinema check it out. Some movies require an open mind to absorb, ie. Blade Runner which was a huge disappointment when it first came out. Looking forward to the Imprint Films release that is coming in September. I deducted half a star from my personal review just for the uncoverted. For those interested in bizarre fantasy it may deliver for you like it did for me. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Tom C Don't understand the bad reviews. Really liked the story. Lesson to be learned from this 80s flick is somethings should be left alone. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Erin M Great movie….the atmosphere and music are so eerie! Great actors and acting,and a classic story of good trying to stop the spread of evil.
