Prevenge (Dir. Alice Lowe, 2016)
A pitch black, wryly British comedy from the mind of Alice Lowe, Prevenge follows Ruth, a pregnant woman on a killing spree. It’s her misanthropic unborn baby dictating Ruth’s actions, holding society responsible for the absence of a father. The child speaks to Ruth from the womb, coaching her to lure and ultimately kill her unsuspecting victims.
Struggling with her conscience, loneliness, and a strange strain of prepartum madness, Ruth must ultimately choose between redemption and destruction at the moment of motherhood.
Prevenge marks the directorial debut from Lowe, who is a true triple threat, writing, directing, and acting in the film during her own real-life pregnancy.
Rated 15, but recommended for ages 18+ (contains graphic violence and gore)
“Wickedly subversive.”
★★★★ Total Film
“Funny and twisted.”
★★★★ Timeout
“A cracking directorial debut.”
★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
“This impressively peculiar film has the spark of experimental life, an unruly, unfinished quality that adds to its anarchic charm.”
★★★★ Mark Kermode, Observer
