A pitch black, wryly British comedy from the mind of AIice Lowe, Prevenge follows Ruth, a pregnant woman on a kiIling spree. It'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 Iure and ultimateIy kill her unsuspecting victims. Struggling with her conscience, loneliness, and a strange strain of prepartum madness, Ruth must ultimateIy choose between redemption and destruction at the moment of motherhood. Having shown at Venice, Toronto and most recently the London International Film 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.
