They are a loving couple, but upon reaching their destination, Jackie starts behaving strangely because she omits Jules from activities or doesn’t inform her about where she’s going or what she’s doing. Jules gets frustrated by Jackie’s behavior and asks Jackie for an explanation. At this confrontation, Jackie becomes furious and pushes Jules off a cliff to kill her. Jules survives the fall but has to hide from Jules and survive her attacks because Jackie is hell-bent on finishing her off. The film follows Jules in her bid to survive the attacks of the woman she loves, who is desperately trying to kill her.

  • Action scenes are satisfying as both women are equal as opponents
  • Good cinematography – with back-and-white flashbacks and use of vivid colors in the scenes that tell their back-stories

What’s Not There?

  • The film has violence, blood, and gore. So, it might not be to everyone’s liking.
  • The film strays from its plot by showing a series of murders irrelevant to the story.

Verdict

“What Keeps You Alive” is a physiological thriller incorporating fear, thrill, violence, and gore. The cast gives stellar performances. The cinematography includes vivid colors and the weather to maximize the impact of the scenes. Overall, the film would be a great watch for thriller genre enthusiasts.
