Mickey Keating (born 1990 or 1991)[1] is an American film director and writer. His work includes Ritual, Pod, Darling, Carnage Park, and the upcoming film Psychopaths.

Career

Keating interned at Blumhouse when he was a teenager. His feature directing debut, the horror film Ritual, was produced by Eric Fleischmann, a friend who was also a former intern there.[2] His next two films, Pod, a science fiction-horror film, and Darling, a psychological horror film, were shot nine months apart; both premiered in 2015. Darling was produced by Glass Eye Pix, where Keating had also interned.[3] For Carnage Park, a neo-Western horror film released in 2016, Fleischmann returned to produce.[2] Describing Darling and Carnage Park, Charleston City Paper critic Kevin Young wrote that they show obvious influences from other horror films, but Keating's wide-ranging explorations of the various horror subgenres make him a promising director.[1] Katie Rife of The A.V. Club wrote that although Carnage Park is fun, Keating needs to move beyond stylized homage to avoid the risk of being labeled an imitator.[4] His latest film, Psychopaths, completed principal photography in March 2016.[5]
