What Keeps You Alive (2018)


Released August 24th in the US.
Filmed entirely in Canada.
The story: Jackie has brought her wife Jules to her family's rustic house in the woods by a lake.
Shortly after arriving Sarah, a neighbor from across the lake shows up.
When Sarah realizes its Jackie at the house she is pleasantly surprised.
She was just checking things out due to recent break-ins.
But Sarah knows Jackie as Meagan...
This confuses and angers Jules because she believes Jackie hasn't been completely honest with her.
Jackie explains that she just isn't the person she used to be and likes her new name better.
After some sweet talk, Jules eventually accepts Jackie's story for what it is.
The next day Jules wakes to a voice mail from Jackie stating she went into town for some things and will be back later.
Jules decides to take the rowboat across the lake to visit with Sarah and while there, she learns Sarah and Jackie used to be close, along with another friend who past away.
This frightens Jules because she expects that Jackie would have mentioned that too!
When Jackie finally arrives back and Jules questions her about her friend that past, Jackie seems to be very affected by it all and breaks down.
But...Jules quickly finds out that's all just it's an act.
