What Keeps You Alive

1. Don't watch the trailer beforehand. 2. Emotionally, it makes sense why Julie does what she does. Something, I think, some <4 star reviewers might not have understood. 3. Listen after the screen goes black at the end.

Not a bad depiction of psychopathy for a theatrical effort. The plot shifts halfway through toward the absurdity, but I could still go along with it for the film's sake. Then the last act just turned contrived for nothing better than a twist ending, I'm assuming. Sigh. What could have been pretty good turned sour with the poor choice of the final girl. Harumph. Too bad as up to this point they had a decent film going.

I hate when people post "boring" as their review because it's usually for some fascinating slowburn well told story. I just cant think of any other title more on the nose for this film. This film just doesn't sparkle. Brittany allens heroine is supposed to have some sort of complex personality but its not ever shown or hinted at so she makes these kind bizarre painfully plot driven decisions that make you cringe. The big reveal of the film happens in the first couple minutes and so the rest of the movie is a sort of slow cat and mouse game but neither the cat nor the mouse are particularly interesting. The villains motivation is just so drab. Its a shame I think a couple more scenes spent digesting the character portraits could have made this more watchable instead I was just thankful went it ended.

I actually enjoyed this film. Loads of tense moments and fun. But it so stupid. So many plot holes, so many stupid decisions. So many time you say to yourself "that just wouldn't happen"

Acting solid. Score good. Some good experimental shots from the director. Just the sheer frustrating stupidity takes what could be a great horror film into a bit of a mess.

This movie had a lot of potential, but eventually stumbles and falls off a cliff. Starts really strong and has some solid cinematography but some of the characters' decisions will have you face palming pretty hard. It's worth watching, but not revisiting. I'll definitely keep an eye on the director, would be nice to see what he can do with a more solid plot
