Prevenge

It's rare to see a horror film with such a feminine point of view.

If the script's conflation of delicate conditions is never quite as outrageous or unsettling as its creator intends, Prevenge is still filled with moments that show Lowe's skill as a director and as an actress.

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.

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.

Prevenge, like many horror films, is as divisive as it is thoughtful -- no matter where you stand on it. But I assure you, it is one not to be missed. Especially now.

The film is a precisely crafted black-comic nightmare in a distinctive British tradition, built around a truly extraordinary performance.

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.

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.

A comedy horror that actually has... a soul to it and layers with strong female lead.

[Alice Lowe's] first feature as a director is brilliant in a Jennifer Saunders way, mordant, skillful, outrageous, and true.
