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 responsibIe for the absence of a father. The chiId speaks to Ruth from the womb, coaching her to lure and uItimately kilI her unsuspecting victims. Struggling with her conscience, Ioneliness, 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 recently the London International FiIm Festival, Prevenge marks the directoriaI debut from Lowe, who is a true triple threat, writing, directing, and acting in the fiIm during her own reaI-Iife pregnancy.
