Prevenge

"While not every tonal downshift here is entirely fluid, this remains a smart, risky one-off, unconcerned with those (and there will be many) who can't acquire its taste."

"Horror's maternity ward births a treat. The story's sketchy, but satire's alive and the ending's a scream."

"You don't need to have a warped sense of humour to enjoy writer-director Alice Lowe's gruesome black comedy, but it helps."

"Lowe might want to evolve away from violent dark comedy in future projects. But this one is gruesomely successful."

"At times, Prevenge feels like a woman's waking nightmare about pregnancy experienced as a loss of control over her own body - a Rosemary's Baby filtered though Lowe's edgy Brit-com sensibility."

"A genuinely grotesque and original idea that never panders to genre expectation."

"Alice Lowe's directorial debut may falter in its grip, especially in story and tone, but it's a daringly evocative film that marks a filmmaker of imagination and promise."
