For their one-year wedding anniversary, Jackie takes Jules to the remote countryside where her father used to take her hunting when she was a child. No one around, except for the luxurious home of her childhood friend on the other side of the lake. Everything seems set for a perfect romantic weekend… and a dive into horror.

Colin Minihan, from The Vicious Brothers duo who made the Grave Encounters found footage, is now going solo. He’s quite good at it, judging by the excellent aesthetics of What Keeps you Alive, which, though it looks like a classic slasher, bring its share of beautiful sadistic surprises. Hannah Emilly Anderson and Brittany Allen, from the Spierig brothers' Jigsaw, give all they have to support his vision.
