Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Ruth is a pregnant woman on a killing spree. It’s her misanthropic unborn baby dictating Ruth’s actions, taking revenge for the death of her boyfriend. The child speaks to Ruth from the womb, coaching her to lure and ultimately kill her unsuspecting victims.
Written, directed by, and starring Alice Lowe (Sightseers), this jet black horror-comedy was shot in just eleven days—when she was seven months pregnant! A wickedly funny and clever updating of slasher movie tropes, Prevenge is a kaleidoscopic, blood-splattered satire of prenatal rage and anxiety.
