"Alive." (2020) - Mental Health & Horror Films Week

GUEST: Jules Vincent, "Alive." (2020)

(And, yes, I ask about the "abandoned sanitarium" verbiage on the film's description - no cause for alarm: as I discussed with him, I like this movie a lot.)

Good horror movie currently at 78% (critics)/94% (audience) on RT
