Prevenge

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.

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.

Not quite Sightseers

I'm not quite sure what prompted me to watch this. Oh well, live and learn. Quite peculiar story.

Everything about this movie was great. Will definitely view again!

I really struggled with Prevenge. I read a review somewhere that called it "pitch black," and I think that nails it. There are comedic elements in a few places which feel really odd given the tone of most of the rest of the movie. It's essentially a much more vicious Promising Young Woman with our anti-heroine being seven months pregnant. That being said, huge kudos to Alice Lowe who played the very pregnant lead/writer/director.

Great movie. Kind of a slow burn. A great view into the mind of a woman who is looking for love to be given to her only to realize you need to have it for yourself first. 🌟 This gets 4 stars for great acting, visual style (at times purposely amateur), moody soundtrack and the story is believable, albeit hokey. Wait, I take that back, Ruth might come for me and judge me as cruel or unfeeling 😆 😆 See it if you like a good character study. The body count is important but is never ugly in the traditional horror sense; it seems right for impact and from the view of its miserable star it seems to look like the evil she feels. I recommend it to any mom, dad, or single people considering going down the road of matrimony. @DJFreedomLives

I was disappointed with this movie. There's not a lot of substance to it

The killing scenes could have been more creative, they felt very repetitive. The story was just borderline ok, there were a lot of times the movie could have worked out well had it have funny moments or suspense, which I felt were sadly missing.

The high critic score is an utter mystery to me. This is one of the worst films I have seen in a long time. Not scary, or dark or funny (a bad start for a black comedy), not clever, not captivating, completely predictable, morally vacuous, and a concept as awful and stupid as the voice of the baby itself. Basically, the unborn baby tells the mother to kill people (fairly normal ones, mostly), and the mother does it. Then, when the baby is born, she says "oh! It's not taking to me anymore, it must have been me all along". Sigh... Maybe that's supposed to be the joke, I don't know... In addition, I was struggling to identify any PREvenge - it was all REvenge (for her partner's death), with some mindless killing of innocent bystanders thrown in. Stupid film.
