Reviews of The Ranger - What Keeps You Alive - Along Came the Devil
Gruesome Magazine - Horror Movie Reviews and Interviews - A podcast by Doc Rotten
This week, the Grue-Crew follow some punks up to a cabin in the woods, witness Bruce Davidson performing an exorcism, and root for Brittany Allen to survive her encounter with Hannah Emily Anderson. First up is the possession film Along Came the Devil from director Jason DeVan, featuring Sydney Sweeney struggling with the demons of her past. The second film, The Ranger from director Jenn Wexler, follows Chloe Levine as she faces an evil from her past in the form of...the ranger. Rounding out the show is the tense thriller What Keeps You Alive from director Colin Minihan, featuring a killer cast, a killer twist, and a seriously messed-up killer. The hunt is on for the diamond in the rough. Doc Rotten from Horror News Radio and Jeff Mohr from Decades of Horror: The Classic Era are joined by Rafe Telsch and Vanessa Thompson.

"I’m so proud of Jenn Wexler at being a female director and doing such an amazing job in this." - Vanessa
"Chloe Levine and Jeremy Holm create a power duo in this film that really makes the film." - Jeff
"Don’t be fooled. Check this movie out. It is a lot of fun. It has slasher elements, but ... it’s not one thing. There’s a lot of stuff going on with this, but it certainly relishes in the gore and the kills." - Doc
