- QuizThe writer of the original novel, F. Paul Wilson, was so unimpressed by Michael Mann's adaptation of his work, that he wrote a short story called "Cuts", in which a writer puts a voodoo curse on a director, who has mangled his work.
- BlooperWhen Dr Cuza is translating the writing on the wall, he says "The form is the imperative" i.e. that it's a command. That's taken from the source novel, where the writing is translated as "Strangers, leave my home!" But in the film the translation is "I will be free", which is not an imperative statement.
- Citazioni
[Molasar appears and talks to the frightened Dr. Cuza]
Molasar: You have... death around you.
Dr. Cuza: Your hands?
[points at Molasar's powerful hands that touched him last time and healed him]
Molasar: No.
Dr. Cuza: Then, what you sense is my fate in a death camp?
Molasar: A place where people gather to die?
Dr. Cuza: A place where people are murdered!
Molasar: [loud] My people are murdered?
Dr. Cuza: Yes! And others, from all over Europe!
Molasar: [angry] Who does this?
Dr. Cuza: Their leader... in Berlin. And the soldiers in black.
Molasar: [screams] I WILL DESTROY THEM! I will consume their lives...
Dr. Cuza: When could you do this?
Molasar: When I am complete. In two nights. If... I can leave this place.
Dr. Cuza: Why couldn't you?
Molasar: Because an object of mine, the origin of my power, must be removed from the Keep and hidden in these mountains and kept save from people here... and from anyone who may come here. It must be done by someone I can trust... like you. Only then can I leave the Keep and destroy the soldiers in black and their leaders. Will you carry this object... out of here... for me?
[Molasar touches Dr. Cuza on the shoulder like a friend]
Dr. Cuza: Yes.
- Curiosità sui creditiThe Keep Production Pays Tribute To Wally Veevers
- Versioni alternativeSome television versions include additional footage after the original downbeat ending, showing Eva Cuza (Alberta Watson) turn around, entering the Keep and finding the body of Glaecen (Scott Glenn), dead after the final battle with Molasar. Eva hugs Glaeken, who is revived by the power of her love.
This fantastic movie packs action, violence, terror, suspense with creepy and eerie scenarios. The film is based on Paul Wilson novel , also screenwriter along with Michael Mann. Some versions include different endings and additional footage. The star-studded cast is well headed by Jurgen Prochnow, Scott Glenn and Ian McKellen and excellent plethora of secondaries as Gabriel Byrne, Robert Prosky, William Morgan Sheppard and a very secondary role by Bruce Payne and Roselie Crutchley. Impressive production design with breathtaking scenarios by John Box. Colorful cinematography with flog and fume and plenty of lights and dark by Alex Thomson. Eerie musical composed by means of synthesizer is made by Tangerine Dream (Christopher Frank, among others). The motion picture is professionally directed by Michael Mann, a successful director and usual screenwriter from the 80s with several hits (Manhunter,The last Mohican, Heat,Insider, Ali, Miami vice). The story will appeal to terror genre fans and WWII buffs.
