Prevenge
15
Ruth is a pregnant woman on a killing spree. But it's her unborn baby dictating Ruth's actions, taking revenge on those responsible for the death of their father. Struggling with her pregnant madness at the moment of motherhood, Ruth has to decide who is ultimately in control.
In anticipation of her new film Timestalker (2024), a magnificent Alice Lowe writes and stars in this bloody revenge tale. A playful mix of horror and comedy, Prevenge channels Rosemary's Baby (1968) & The Brood (1979), delivering the hilarious, but cold-eyed stare of a mother on the edge.
Details
“Prevenge is a breathtaking, savage debut from Alice Lowe, one that boasts horrific moral deprivation and a sense of humour drenched in maternal madness.”
We Got This Covered
“Prevenge is a brilliantly conceived meditation on prepartum anxiety and extreme grief.”
The New York Times
“Covering depression, grief and pregnancy as body-horror, the end result is a palpably unusual mix of comedy, pathos and gruesome violence.”
