Review of Prevenge (2017) by Tony P — 28 Aug 2018
Several years ago I got my first viewing of an Alice Lowe 'comedy horror' watching Sightseers so I looked forward to fast forwarding a few years watching Prevenge.
I saw the trailer at the cinema but missed the original release in 2016 but caught up with this on a streaming site.
Lowe stars, writes and directs this feature. Not bad going!
The story is basically of a pregnant lady who in the midst of pre-natal depression commits gruesome murders. Why?
The film appears to show her being overcome by the voice of her unborn baby to commit such acts.
Is she really hearing the baby, or is it her mashed up head?
Poor DJ, weirdo pet shop worker, ruthless interviewee and charity boxer woman.
A low budget British film that really is a black comedy horror in the mould of films like An American Werewolf...without the werewolf. Just an angry pregnant lady. Perhaps made worse by the untimely death of her partner in a climbing accident.
Worthy of a 90 minute watch in my opinion.
A film not to be taken seriously.
