‘Offseason’ Exclusive: It’s Definitely a Trap
Mickey Keating is an indie horror director you need to know. From Pod to Darling, Keating’s work refuses to settle into one subgenre or style, which makes every release of his an exciting surprise. His latest film Offseason is Keating’s take on Southern gothic cosmic horror. It’s creepy and full of dread, making you rethink your next vacation. With Offseason hitting Shudder on June 10, we got an exclusive clip from the film.
In Offseason:
Upon receiving a mysterious letter that her mother’s grave site 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 in order to make it out alive.

In an interview with Dread Central, Keating said that video games like Silent Hill deeply influenced the film. He told us:
Silent Hill was an inspiration, but also a lot of other Japanese horror, too, like Dark Water. Offseason is this melting pot of different kinds of Japanese horror inspirations.
Jocelin Donahue, Joe Swanberg, Richard Brake, Melora Walters, and Jeremy Gardner star in Offseason. Basically this movie is a who’s who of the indie horror world. And we aren’t complaining about that at all.
