Our take
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.
