Body Keepers (2018) is a supernatural horror-thriller directed by Shelly Cole. The film revolves around a chilling mystery set in a small, snow-covered town where a group of teenagers stumbles upon a dark and terrifying secret.
The plot centers on a group of high school students who, after the disappearance of a young girl, come across a frozen corpse hidden in an abandoned cabin in the woods. Rather than reporting the body to the authorities, the teens decide to keep the discovery a secret, leading them down a dangerous path. As they try to hide what they found, strange and supernatural occurrences begin to unfold, and they quickly realize that the body they found is connected to something much more sinister.
As the teens are haunted by disturbing visions and eerie occurrences, it becomes clear that they are being pursued by a dark force tied to the frozen body. Their decisions lead them deeper into a terrifying situation where they are forced to confront not only the supernatural presence but also the consequences of their own actions.
Body Keepers combines elements of supernatural horror with a mystery-thriller structure, focusing on themes of guilt, secrets, and how a seemingly harmless decision can unleash something dark and uncontrollable. The film uses its wintry setting to create an eerie, isolated atmosphere, adding to the tension and fear.
Though itโs a lesser-known indie horror film, Body Keepers has found a niche audience, particularly for fans of atmospheric horror and slow-burn supernatural stories. Some viewers appreciated its suspenseful buildup, while others found the pacing and character development lacking.
