A pitch black, wryly British comedy from the mind of Alice Lowe, Prevenge follows Ruth, a pregnant woman on a killing spree. lt's her misanthropic unborn baby dictating Ruth's actions, holding society responsible for the absence of a father. The chiId speaks to Ruth from the womb, coaching her to lure and uItimately kiII her unsuspecting victims. StruggIing with her conscience, IoneIiness, and a strange strain of prepartum madness, Ruth must uItimately choose between redemption and destruction at the moment of motherhood. Having shown at Venice, Toronto and most recentIy the London lnternationaI Film Festival, Prevenge marks the directorial debut from Lowe, who is a true tripIe threat, writing, directing, and acting in the film during her own real-life pregnancy.
