What starts as an idyllic trip to the Canadian wilderness for two women celebrating their first wedding anniversary turns into a brutal battle for survival where no one is who they seem to be in WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE.
Is this movie a new queer horror classic?
Or is it homophobic?
Helping me sort through the twisted web of deceit and violence are my two very special guests: fashion designer & cohost of Beauty, the Beast & the B's ANGI HOGABOOM and Actual Canadian TARA GARNER.
**It would behoove you to watch this movie as cold as possible, and DO NOT WATCH THE SPOILER RIDDEN TRAILER.**
Currently streaming on TUBI and SHUDDER.
Check out Tara's interview on CINEMA CRAZED.
WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE was written and directed by COLIN MINIHAN and stars BRITTANY ALLEN, HANNAH EMILY ANDERSON, MARTHA MACISAAC and JOEY KLEIN.

Agni got their start peeping the lurid VHS covers at the video store. The love of horror never abated through childhood, college, starting a family (watching IFC's indie thrills while breastfeeding the baby in the middle of the night). These days Agni spends their time alternating between designing custom couture and workwear in their studio, running Little Switch Yoga (the first trans-owned sliding scale business in their area) - and hate-watching prestige TV.
