What Keeps You Alive



Thought about doing a little horror fest of my own. As I mentioned before Motel X starts next week but only two movies caught my eye. The ones I expected to be included are not, like this one.

Not a brilliant film but is beautifully made. Jackie and Jules are a couple that goes celebrate their first year together in Jackie´s cabin in the woods. All seems to go well until Sarah pops up and inadvertently, reveals that Jackie´s real name is Megan. Jules doesn´t get very happy about it, understandably, and the next day goes to Sarah´s house only to find yet another secret regarding the death of Jackie´s childhood friend. Later on, Jules confronts Jackie with that information and wins a push over the cliff. And that´s when the madness starts.

Jules survives and finds out she married someone whom she did not know at all. A cold psychopath who tries to feel something by killing her partners. The movie develops into a cat and mouse game and ends leaving a sour taste in your mouth...

Again, not a brilliant movie. It has a plot hole here and there and this premise has been done many times. However, the photography and cinematography are gorgeous and Hannah Emily Anderson performance as Jackie is sublime, as well Brittany Allen´s as Jules (who also composed the film's score, an amazing one, I might add).

Nothing you haven´t seen before but a gorgeous movie with awesome performances.
