Impressions of “What Keeps You Alive”

Greetings, friends. It's been several days since I last posted here, and this time I want to come back to tell you about my impressions of a movie I saw recently. I've mentioned that I haven't been watching or finding any movies that I can connect with. Well, it's not that this one connected with me to that extent, but I must say that I found it somewhat entertaining, and when I started watching it, I didn't expect much from it.

For some time now, most of the movies or series I've been watching are nothing more than recommendations from social media, in search of something I really like and find somewhat different. I decided to share my impressions of this one because, although it's not something we haven't seen before, it did entertain me a little. I'm talking about the movie “What Keeps You Alive,” which is psychological horror and suspense. Well, to be honest, this movie is about a married couple who go to one of their country houses, where strange things happen. Jackie seems to have a shady past and a psychopathic personality. Jules detects this, and from there, strange events begin to unfold, and she discovers that Jackie is not the good person she claims to be.

To be honest, I think it's a bit predictable, and in the end, things happen that make you say, “But why did you come back?” But sometimes we don't understand from this side of the screen, and it's also a way to lengthen the film and add filler that the plot should never be without. For me, the message it conveys is that you never really know people, but of course, it's not like you're going to believe you're married to a murderer, but in other areas of life, you can relate to this.

Is it bad? I would say not entirely, it's entertaining, but not so much that I would say it's something I've never seen before. Probably yes, but it's good to sometimes reset your mind with other movies and watch something different for a while. I liked the girls' performances. The ending was a bit rushed because it's not what a normal person would do, confronting someone before calling the police, but she did it for a reason and it kind of saved the ending, so I liked it. I recommend it, you won't waste your time, but don't expect too much. Cheers.
