Leave your thoughts about Prevenge.
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonFresh feminist horror of a very welcome taboo-smashing kind. Nasty, hilarious, outraged and outrageous, and as poignant as it is blackly funny. |
| The Daily BeastNick SchagerLowe's film crazily reimagines the abortion debate as one that's out of both men and women's hands; rather, it's the prenatal tyke itself that's both in charge, and has a fondness for bloody butchery. |
| CBRKristy PuchkoLowe has made a spectacular directorial debut in a film that is defiant, disturbing, and darkly hilarious. |
| io9.comEvan NarcissePrevenge is a sharp accomplishment that dares you to laugh at the truths underneath its horror. |
| Film ThreatAnthony Ray Bench[Prevenge is] a thought-provoking, visually stunning film with just the right amount of humor to balance out some very gruesome and shocking death scenes. |
| ColliderAubrey PagePrevenge forgoes the traditional pitch of horror-comedies and never mines its kills for laughs. The violence in the film is graphic but never showy, preferring to revel in the awkward muck of bloodletting, the reality of taking a life. |
| Sight and SoundMichael LeaderPerhaps best known previously for starring in and co-writing director Ben Wheatley's killer caravanning comedy Sightseers, Alice Lowe births her own blackly comic gem with this assured and accomplished feature debut. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirThe film is a precisely crafted black-comic nightmare in a distinctive British tradition, built around a truly extraordinary performance. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayWhile the plot is skimpy, the performances are rich, which turns Prevenge into a series of satirical sketches, dissecting the social dynamics between a mother-to-be and the various men and women who think they have an advantage over her. |
| Paste MagazineAndy CrumpAnother storyteller might have designed Prevenge as a more comically-slanted effort, but Lowe has sculpted it to smash taboos and social norms. |
