Nick Lepard

Nick Lepard’s name’s buzzing around lately, and honestly, it’s not hard to see why. With “Dangerous Animals” and “Keeper” both dropping in 2025, he’s basically everywhere in indie film circles right now. In “Dangerous Animals,” there’s this relentless, almost suffocating tension running beneath the surface. The story kind of crawls under your skin—think twisted family dynamics, secrets that just keep piling up, and a sense that something’s always watching from the shadows. It’s not your standard creature feature, more like a slow-burn unraveling of people who might be scarier than any animal. Lepard’s got this knack for making you care about characters who are deeply flawed, sometimes even a little unpleasant, but somehow still relatable. Then there’s “Keeper.” This one swings the vibe in a totally different direction. It’s less horror, more psychological drama, but it still hits hard. The plot follows a guy who’s barely holding it together, haunted by memories and regrets, and the story just kind of knocks you off balance. Every time you think you know where things are going, it flips the script. Lepard’s performance is raw, messy, and honestly kind of heartbreaking. These films aren’t about shiny heroes or tidy endings—they’re messy, complicated, and way more real for it. If you’re into movies that leave you thinking (and maybe a little unsettled), both of these are worth a look.
