Overview

Prevenge (2016) is an entertainingly dark 21st-century horror movie detailing the serial killing journey of heavily pregnant Ruth. It's a cleverly crafted narrative full of stark social commentary, traversing the delicate line between comedy and tragedy by fusing together a kitchen sink approach with a supernatural revenge plot. This book, as part of the Devil's Advocates series, examines how the film deconstructs the slasher mythology and the sexism therein, and upends stereotypical representations of the 'weak' woman and 'delicate' mother. With new exclusive input from writer, director and star Alice Lowe, the text also looks at the production's inception and development, assesses its debts to cult British cinema, and inspects its umbilical connections to Rosemary's Baby, Alien, Village of the Damned and many other 'Monstrous Child' silver screen features.
