Prevenge Summary

Prevenge by Andrew Graves

Prevenge (2016) is an entertainingly dark 21st-century horror movie detailing the serial killing journey of heavily pregnant Ruth. Its 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 Devils 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 productions inception and development, assesses its debts to cult British cinema, and inspects its umbilical connections to Rosemarys Baby, Alien, Village of the Damned and many other Monstrous Child silver screen features.

Prevenge Reviews

'Andrew Graves offers a suitably appreciative, perceptive celebration of a movie that never wanted to be pigeonholed for the sake of its commercial prospects... This concise, engaging DEVILS ADVOCATES monograph is...a witty, insightful read that will inspire you to revisit Lowes glorious back catalogue.'
Steven West, FrightFest
