What to Know

Critics Consensus

As ambitious as it is daringly transgressive, Prevenge should thrill fans of pitch-black horror-comedy -- and open untold opportunities for writer/director/star Alice Lowe.

It's rare to see a horror film with such a feminine point of view. Go to Full Review
Adam Nayman The Ringer 04/07/2017
Lowe is a more striking and resourceful actor than director, and that's fine. She's clearly a huge talent, and it's encouraging to see her finding her voice so soon, even if it's creepy baby-doll drone. Go to Full Review
Richard Brody The New Yorker 04/03/2017
If metaphors were movies, Alice Lowe's new film would be a masterwork. Instead, it's just smart fun-as well as a promising dbut. Go to Full Review
Kat Halstead Common Sense Media 12/04/2024
Alice Lowe writes, directs, and stars in this bold comedy-horror that mixes bloody gore with a very British form of pitch-black humor and a powerful female viewpoint. Go to Full Review
Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh 05/12/2023
4/5
As sick and twisted as it is funny, while also being full of heart, showing the lengths a parent will go to to make their child happy. Go to Full Review

8/10
A comedy horror that actually has... a soul to it and layers with strong female lead. Go to Full Review

Barbara F Oct 19 Slow moving, predictable plot with little to catch my attention. Gave up just over half way through. Seemed pointless to finish it. I'm disappointed, I wanted to love it. See more Claudio C Jun 6 Prevenge (2016) The Psychopath Fetus (11,748 – 05 Jun 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) The pregnant widow Ruth (Alice Lowe) is grieving the loss of her husband, who died in a climbing when there was the need to cut the cord to save the rest of the group. Out of the blue, Ruth is convinced that her fetus is controlling her and is seeking out revenge for the death of her father. She begins a crime spree killing the people saved during the climbing after the death of her husband. “Prevenge” (2016) is a combination of slasher and dark comedy by Shudder with the story of an insane pregnant woman that believes she has a psychopath fetus and embarks in a crime spree to revenge the death of her husband. The film is directed and written by Alice Lowe, who is also the protagonist, and is not bad, keeping the attention of the viewer until the last scene. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): Not Available My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ See more Johnny D 10/13/2023 I thought this movie would be goofy and fun, but instead it was pessimistic and awkward. The movie has such a great premise, but unfortunately it just drags on and doesn't capitalize. It does have a few funny moments, but for the most part the pregnant mom-to-be character's cynicism rubs off on the viewer. She makes it abundantly clear that she's very unhappy, and in doing so manages to make me just as unhappy watching her.
