Genre: Thriller, Black Comedy
Conditions of visioning: 03.06.2017, Cine Santander Cultural, FANTASPOA2017
Synopsis: Pregnant Ruth (Lowe) is not an innocent future mom. She starts killing people following the commands of her unborn daughter, apparently in relation to some drama in her past.
Review: Alice Lowe has written the story and is both directing and lead actress in this movie, and she does both very well, especially when she executes her victims with a form of Black Humor.
But besides that Prevenge doesn't really bring anything new to the genre, neither in the story nor in the form. It is nice to follow this woman talking to her belly, the murders are funny and bloody enough ans the whole thing is well shot, but that's all I will remember.
Rating: 5 /10
