**** Film of the Week - Mark Kermode

“…a grisly fantasy-rhapsody about a sense of invasion and infection that is, arguably, an unacknowledged condition of pregnancy… gruesomely successful.” ****
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"Gory to the max, darkly hilarious from start to finish, and soaked in hormonal rage, Prevenge is the perfect midnight movie."
David Ehrlich, IndieWire

“Alice Lowe has now hacked and slashed her way into the male-dominated world of the cult slasher with her debut feature Prevenge. The results are undeniably glorious, and they provide an incredibly lively and fresh take on the genre.”
Thomas Humphrey, Screen Anarchy

A pitch black, wryly British comedy, Prevenge follows Ruth, a pregnant woman on a killing spree that’s as funny as it is vicious. 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 was Alice’s directorial feature debut. She wrote, starred in, and directed it whilst 7-8 months pregnant with her first child, who also appears in the film. The dark comedy won her a Monster Innovation Award, alongside a BIFA nomination for ‘Best Debut Director’. Katie Dickie received a Scottish BAFTA nomination for her role as Ella. Alice Lowe won 'Best Actress' at the National Film Awards 2018 for her role as Ruth in Prevenge, which was also nominated for 'Best Thriller.’

Prevenge won a Golden Tomato Award in 2017, coming #4 in Rotten Tomatoes' 5 Best-Reviewed Horror Movies of the year.
