  Review by Chris Hormann ★★ 5

  Imagine the most brainless characters and then make them more stupid, just for cheap thrills. To a certain extent, the filmmaker takes his audience to be just as brainless. On the plus side, it's nicely shot and definitely passes the Bechdel test. So there's that.

  WOW! Just not at all what I was expecting, but damn it’s a good time! I really went into this thinking it was a lesbian couple vs. some psychotic backwoods mountain man and it’s not even! Not EVEN! Instead, it’s a complex psychological horror about a lesbian couple that has way too many secrets for their own good.

  I really love that this movie depicts a gay married couple because I fall into that category and I think it is woefully underrepresented in 2020. However, the farther into the movie you get the more you wonder whether or not this is the type of representation you want, but then I started to think: is this really speaking to all couples in…

  Review by Jacob Knight ★★

  A really great opening 15 minutes gives way to rather abysmal acting amidst a slew of intriguing visual ideas (there’s a black light murder cleanup sequence that’s simply amazing). This could’ve been a rather tight, brutal midnight movie option, sporting some cool LGTBQ representation (as the central duo is a married lesbian couple celebrating their anniversary). Instead, it’s a subpar stab at crafting some cabin in the woods violence, with only momentary flashes of inspiration.

  Review by Brenda ★★★

  Red flags about your gf/wife:

  - Her name is not her real name
  - She sings a song about a demon inside
  - She's white and secretly an expert using guns
  - One of her friends died under strange cincunstances and she's the only witness
  - She tells you a creepy story about how she killed a bear and watched it died
  - Her dad told her "you only kill what keeps you alive"

  Review by Rosie ★★

  What Keeps You Alive is a Canadian psychological thriller with senseless direction and the typical cliches. Jackie and Jules celebrate their first anniversary as a married couple out in a woodsy remote cabin belonging to Jackie’s family. What's supposed to be a romantic weekend getaway suddenly turns into a living nightmare when Jackie reveals her evil intentions, Jules finds herself fighting to survive against her violent, sociopathic wife. The leads can only do so much with a shallow script and illogical choices. Characters were not developed enough. They had some tense moments in this survival film, I’ll give it that. Unfortunately, it's an exhausted concept, they played it safe and straightforward that it was predictable all the way through.
